Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family/ City of Heroes problems.

[masterxj07]

Hello people of Intel.

I'm a total noob here and a noob with software/computers etc. So I need some help.

I just recently downloaded City of Heroes onto my computer and I signed up and stuff. And when I actually got to gameplay, it was showing like clip by clip by clip. It was so slow and laggy. I then noticed on the menu screen it said I need to update my drivers. So heres the problem.

I TRIED to update my driver with the one here.

Hi there,

download an unzip .zip version (not .exe):
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/16313/a08/winvista_1583.zip

. open Device Manager
. select graphics card
. right mouse button
. select "update drivers" from context menu
. search computer ... (NOT automatic search)
. select from list .. (NOT search in folder)
. "Have Disk ..."
. point to Graphicsigdlh.inf in directory you unzipped driver to

Don't play in 1280 x 1024. Your graphics card might not be sufficiently powerful.

1280 x 1024 has aspect ratio of 5:4. Most common are 4:3 and 16:10, which means if you select a different resolution and your monitor hasn't the capability to display the image while keeping aspect ratio, then circles will be elipses.
