Hi, I'm brand new, and I got a message that my chipset is out of date. Tried to update it, but it's not working, and it seems I can login sort of, but as soon as the bar finishes filling up, it crashes...my computer is two years old, a Compaq Presario S4000V, Intel Pentium 4 processor and an SiS 650/740 something or other...I know absolutely nothing about this, I'm really ticked off, and I just want to play the damned game already.

In addition to whatever driver updating you might need to do, I would think you would want to buy an nVidia graphics card. There are a number of threads in this forum discussing just which one is the best or the best value.

Yargh...I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy anything... -_-

Don't be too upset, the same thing happens to me on the main grid (although I can log into Preview Grid fine). Everything worked fine until last night.

I am thinking that this may be a bug, since I have seen several posts on these forums that have been eerily similar to what I have been experiencing.
