[Mr. Mopery]

Ok...so I got the game ahead of schedule. It came in the mail today and I, with a gleam of avarice in my eyes, tore into the game and installed it on my computer...waaaaay before Christmas.

Then I was visited by the true spirit of Christmas (kind of). It came to me when I tried to start the game and said something like "cannot find video [something]". Enigmatic yet wise, that Christmas spirit.

So anyway, I figure it's because I've not got a 3D video card, accelerator, or any other neat thing like that. If you think I'm wrong, please correct me, but I think that's the problem.

The problem isn't my willingness to buy one but, rather, the fact that I live in Poland and when I asked somebody in a store about it today he said fine, and then I said I had a laptop and he laughed at me. It seems it's much harder to accomodate this, especially over here.

My mother's coming over for Christmas (on Thursday) and she can get one for me in the States, but my question is what should I get (that hopefully won't bankrupt me) and, really more importantly, can I get it for a laptop????

Please, please, please, please help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
