A bug appears saying that there's "No compatible hardware" or "The OS you're using is not Windows 7 32bits".

Then you're probably trying to install the wrong driver files..

Let me link you to the right file. Here.

I read on a german page that it has something to do with running on a virtual system (Virtualbox and the like). stop doing that, and you might be fine

A thing where you can launch, for example, a linux Os on a windows system, a MAC OS on a Linux system, without actually owning or having one of them to begin with. it's kind of hard for me to explain this in english language. But, for instance, do you have maybe a MAC, and running a Microsoft OS on that?

I think it's 128mb, or 256, but I know some people with the same graphics card and they run it with no problems.

You need to create a different resolution size. Try to search on Google how to chamge the game's resolution without runing the game

Couldn't create a 1024 x 2048 render target surface. Try to find a way to make that into a 4:3, and change it from there in the game itself.

i just run it after a long time to check if it works; it said my configuration changed since last time and adviced me to update the game configuration. the result was that it lost the resolution settings, but beside that it actually works.

i know this is not so helpful for you, but it's the only i can say...:/

I use also the nVidia Geforce go 7600 and checked everywhere for updates, but they all said the i`ve got the newest one. nVidia drivers for notebooks are not easy to get, but there is a trick:

1) goto this website NVIDIA & Laptop News | Latest NVIDIA drivers and related news | laptopvideo2go.com

2) choose the right operation system

3) download the dirver AND the INF file

4) make a new ordner on c:/

5) extract the rar file (autoextracting)

6) check if your nVidia card is in the downloaded INF file!!!

7) copy the INF file in the dictionery

8) start setup.exe

9) follow the orders

10) wait about 3-4 minutes

try this one

I tried that once, and it didn't work.
And somehow I managed to fix it yesterday, by messing with some files.The result was that I could install a new driver ^^
