Default playing EA Sports w/o nVidia or ATI chipset

So somebody gave me one of those EA Sports 06 packs for PC as a gift - the one with like 5 games on it. Both my PCs have Intel graphics cards (because I don't really play video games) and when I try to run the games I can't. Graphics card can't be initialized properly.

All drivers up to date. Anybody else ever have this problem and find a workaround?

Unfortunately, you are probably stuck. You have cheap graphics not meant for games, not much to do but spend some money and get a better card.

unfortunately Intel graphics chips have crappy support for 3d games. Great for video and such but not much for games. Good news is you can probably get away with a pretty cheap card for those games if you want to play them.

Something like this would probably get you buy

you need to identify what kind of graphics slot you have though, AGP or PCIe x16
