A question regarding computers

Yeah integrated graphics cards are not really game friendly.A very easy way to find out what you have is to open your display settings and go to advanced settings the first tab is adapter.That is your graphics card or intergrated card whatever you may have.

You only problem if you have an integrated card will first be if your rig can even accept a separate graphics processing card(GPU) and then if your power supply can handle the load in addition the capabilities of your processor and your RAM will have an effect.

You really need to provide your system specs though for anyone to help you.The issue could simply be that you have out of date drivers.It is impossible to say without knowing your system specs.

For example what your RAM is and what processor you have and its specs.

You can also try this to find out what your system specs are and if your rig has the beef to run the game you're having trouble with.

Just follow the prompts to install the small applet.

It will also check your drivers. Which should be up to date as long as auto update hasn't been turned off in Windows 7.

While this isn't in the right forum (we have a PC subsection) - I will answer.

While the info on integrated graphics above is right - it isn't your problem. The issue is the game is trying to run in a resolution/refresh rate that your monitor does not support.

For example - let's say you set your game to run at 1920x1080, but your monitor can only support up to 1600x900. That will create the "out of range" error on the monitor. Same thing with the refresh rate. If your monitor can only support say... 80hz, and you set the refresh to be 120hz - your going to go outside what the monitor can do - thus the "OOR" notice.

What I would suggest to start with is go into the config for the game, set the resolution (and where possible, refresh rate) lower - to something you know your monitor can do. Then try running it.

Integrated graphics won't cause this. Their performance issues will cause horrible performance (jerky frame rates, graphical glitches, etc) but they won't cause OOR errors.

Good luck.
