Thanks for all the tips. I downloaded the latest driver from the Dell site - interestingly, there is a newer driver available on the Intel site but thought it best to stick with Dell's version. With that driver installed, things are now working - well, sort of. The game loads and can be played but a bit slow and jerky at times
Spannersatcx, I will try the Sims patch next and see if that makes any difference.
Koyo, point taken but before I'm not sure how into games my son is going to be. If necessary, I can upgrade later.
Thanks all
Aiglon
