Google.

i tried that and when i try to install it says its not for my operating system so im getting the wrong one but iv tried different kinds and it wont work

try downloading/installing directx9.0c
if sro still thoes not work just install xp home on your laptop.

and post your laptop specs processor/ram/grafic card
if you cant find it go to
start/run and type dxdiag

OS: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
BIOS: Default BIOS
Processor: (i think this might also be a problem i thought the processor was big enough)Unkown Intel P6 Processor ~10MHz
Memory: 128 RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c
Display Tab
Name: ATI Technologies Inc. RAGE P/M Mobility AGP 2X
Approx Total Memory: 8.0 MB (might also be a problem lol)

so probaly it cant run it anyways guess i didnt see ALL of my computer specs

From Microsoft website - Directx download from this link

Very low memory... prolly upgrade to 1gb .. game works faster
BTW not sure if ur mother board support 1 gb

Hope this helps

PS - I just google'd it
Google Link - Chk here

if its like something 2007 i tried that didn't work ill probably download the sevrvice packs for 2000 cuz its right off the disc and thx for the links and im at school now so i can view them atm

As truez mentioned, the RAM is too low.

Wikipedia: System Requirements
-Intel Pentium III
-500 MHz CPU
-128 MB RAM
-GeForce 2 graphics card or ATI 9000
-DirectX 8.0b compatible sound card
-3400 MB of free hard disk space
-Internet connection

However, I'm not sure where I read it but I think SRO requires a minimum RAM around 300+ in order for the computer to run the game although it's probably going to be laggy as hell.

hmm tried the like went to the thingy for Genuine and it says i need to update it and stuff >< dam this laptop sucks

EDIT: i so hope theres a servise pack 4 because i dont know all of them and i got a service pack 4 from microsoft lol

Firstly, your RAM is too low. Next, I'm pretty sure a Mobility Rage II/Pro won't have enough texture RAM, (if it has any) and lastly, it also is not DX9 compatible.

Honestly, your laptop is just not going to run SRO, sorry.

i thought it probaly wouldnt but i installed warcraft 3 and it works o.0 and thats a high graffic game and yet it works its just confusing me now

My old computer had 128MB with windows 98, i used to play SRO.. but those days no traffic.. so less lag... but now with 128MB .. i might quit SRO.....

WOW - Min. Requirements:
• Windows 98/Me/2000/XP or MAC OS 10.3.5
• 800 MHz CPU
• 256MB RAM
• 4GB HD space
• 32 MB VPU

Well, I don't know, then. Joymax seems to indicate (by the system requirements) it won't work, but I'm not a programmer for them. I guess I can't say for sure it won't, it looked like it wouldn't though.

Warcraft probably has different system requirements.

• Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
• Pentium II 400 MHz or equivalent
• 128MB RAM
• 700MB HD space
• 8MB DirectX-compatible video card
• 4X CD-ROM drive
• DirectX 8.1

warcraft 3 not wow and sro

Wikipedia: System Requirements
-Intel Pentium III
-500 MHz CPU
-128 MB RAM
-GeForce 2 graphics card or ATI 9000
-DirectX 8.0b compatible sound card
-3400 MB of free hard disk space
-Internet connection

also heres a differance

I think the minimum RAM requirement stated by wikipedia is a bit outdated. With all the new features and increased number of players, anything below 300 would be pretty much insufficient.

10 Mhz processor o_0????

I have to believe that dxdiag is messing up and misreporting, however the P6 line started with Pentium Pro's, which IIRC ran 33 mhz. P6 goes all the way up to the Core processors too.

If he ran CPU-Z we'd have a better idea of the actual speed.

i dont know of any programs like that (not that big on this area of computers)

Check out this link:

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

"CPU-Z does not need to be installed. Just unzip the files in a directory and run the .exe. In order to remove the program, just delete the files.
The program does not copy any file in any directory, neither writes in the registry."

Just download the file, unzip it, and double-click the EXE file. It will come back with something like this:

That will tell you what speed your processor is, how many cores, etc.

thx man once i get home ill post the screen shot of my computer stasts and btw nice computer

Sounds good.

No, unfortunately, that's not mine. I currently have a dual-core Athlon 3800 soon to be replaced by a 6600 - the 3800 will be retired to Linux server duty, replacing a P4 3.06 in the basement. Then maybe I can get rid of the other 7 P2's and P3's I have lying around...

dam this is more then i thought my cpu would be lol and i didnt think it was a pen 3

and wow this is my main computer o.0 that much for a single core or a dual core idk

Ok, your processor may be ok, so I think it's your video holding you back, that plus lack of RAM.

Your main PC is a 2.8 P4 HT (Hyperthreading). See the 2 threads on the right? It's kind of like a dual-core, but only logically, it doesn't physically have two cores.

Actually, you can tell it's single-core because the duals start with the 8xx series...

ehh ya i tried dling that sdk thing didnt work spent an hour looking for some sdk stuff and it still wont work >< i dont know whats wrong but the graffics card might hold me back but the ram i remember playing battlefield just fine with 128 ram no graffics card and a single core on my old comp ^^

and woot i got the sdk downloaded loaded and sro loads hella slow i restarted and trying again ill post a ss of it when/if it runs
