Intel driver error, please help

[pepeperon133]

Hello there and thanks for reading, I just got the GW2 trial (10 hours free) cause Ii wanted to see if I wanted to buy it,

when I tried to play it it says  I need to update my drivers or something like that, so I go to intel and download the required version but it says my computer doesn't meet the requirements...

I'm very sad cause the game looks cool, is there a way to play it without the drivers or can I play GW1 without these drivers?

Thanks so much

Have you tried the first PVZ game I told you about?

Hey @pepeperon133

That error tends to be because you have an intel internal graphics card which doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game.

Would you be able to upload a dxdiag so we can confirm?

Thanks,

@pepeperon133 - As expected it's the graphics card in your computer that doesn't meet the minimum requirements so unfortunately you wouldn't be able to play the game.

oh... well can I play GW1 or something?

The very first and oldest Plants vs. Zombies game, if you can find that one, should play: 

Plants vs. Zombies 1

MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS

Windows 2000/XP/Vista
1.2GHz X86 Processor
512MB RAM
65MB Hard Disk Space
DirectX 8.0
128MB Video Card
DirectX Compatible Sound Card
CD-ROM Drive

The original Garden Warfare requirements offer no support for any of Intel's junk:  

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 1

Minimum:
    Required: Internet connection required to install and play
    DVD-ROM: N/A
    OS: Windows 7/8 64bit
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 GHz
    RAM: At least 4GB RAM
    Video Card: NVIDIA 8800GT, AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5750
    Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c
    DirectX: 10.0+
    Hard Drive: 15 GB
    Input: Keyboard, Mouse or Dual Analog Gamepad

There was a second pre-GW game, however, since it was for Android, I never copied its requirements to my database.  Here's a comment I found about it: 

---

there is no system requirement needed for running Plants vs Zombies 2 but the Android Emulator which you need for running Plants vs Zombies 2 on your PC or Laptop or Mac requires the following system requirements.

• O.S: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or OS X V10.7 or V10.6
• Ram: Minimum 1 GB, Recommended 2 GB
• Processor: For Window: 2.33GHz or Intel®  Atom 1.6GHz and for Mac, Intel Core Duo 1.33 GHz

Thanks for replying,

uhh... I wasn't looking for PVZ or PVZ 2, they do work but it's not like the same game technique, I already have PVZ 1 and 2.

But again, thanks for the help, it means a lot
