Hi, Please help! I have tried to install SimCity 4 on my computer. I get the following error when I load the game: "Could not initialize the hardware driver. Using the software drive instead". I have done everything that I know. These are some of the things that I have tried. 1. updated graphics drivers. 2. changed the display resolution. 3. uninstall and reinstall the program. All of these things have not worked. By the way, I have an Intell 82865G Graphics Controller that is an onboard graphics card. According to the manufacturer of the card, it has been tested with SimCIty 4 and it should work. Can someone give me some help with this problem. I really want to play SimCIty 4. Thanks.
