It worked for a year and then when they added an expansion pack which "improved" the graphics engine so that it showed water and trees better, my graphics card could no longer handle it.



I had an ATI graphics card and I ended up switching to a card that uses the nVidia chipset, since that was recommended by the software company.



At least WoW tells you that your card is out of date and needs to be updated. So here is what you do:



1) Go to the Intel website and look for new drivers for your specific model of video card. Arrange to install them to replace the ones you have now. This will usually provide some improvements to the way the card does its job, and Blizzard may be fine with that new driver in place.



2) Check to see if you have "dxdiag" on your system. It should be there if you have the DirectX 9 software. Just go to the MSDOS shell prompt and type in "dxdiag" then press ENTER. It should pop up a window and show you all the details about the DirectX software that is installed. Look on the main page at the bottom and make sure it says "DirectX 9.0c"



3) If updating the driver and the DirectX software (if necessary) don't resolve the problem, then it may be time to purchase a replacement video card. If you have an on-board video card, you should be able to set it to disabled in the BIOS (when the system boots up) so that any new video card you buy can be inserted and becomes active. When buying a new card, you need to know the type you need. Older PCs may have AGP-style cards or PCI cards, while the new ones use PCI-X (called PCI Express).



Hope this helps.
