You have to tell us what video card you have already you most likley just have to update you drivers then it sould be fine but it also could be that you video card is not powerful enough to play B&W2 if you gave us the brand name and model number it would be easier for us to help if you know what it is and you know how to get drivers you can just update and do it your self here are the 2 main card manufactureing companys
www.nvidia.com
www.ati.com
it also can be intragrated into your mother board so check your host mb website too

Its Probably reffering to updating your driver for your video card..
Goto the card manufacturers site and look for the latest driver for it..install it reboot change the settings of the desktop etc from their default vales ..then load the game and cross your fingers wink.gif

get CPUZ press print screen go into paint and press ctrl+v then save the screenshot go over to imageshack and show us the screenshots. then we may be able to better determine what is the matter. from what it says though i would figure that your video card is either intergrated ( not a card at all ) or too old which means it would be time to get another one for around $150 if you want a decent one a good one is around $300-400. hope this helps.

These are the minimum system requirements to run Black and White 2:

* OS: Windows XP/2000
* Processor: 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 or above
* Memory: 512 MB RAM
* Hard Drive: 3.5 GB
* DVD: 8 Speed
* Video Card: 64 MB with 1.1 Pixel Shader
* DirectX: Version 9.0c (included)
* Sound Card: Directx 9.0c compatible
* Input: Mouse, Keyboard

As you can see, the game isn't very exigent.

In order to help you, we need at least some info about your motherboard or graphics card.

The only time you should need to get a new video card is if it does not have Pixel Shader. I had this problem when I originally got the game and couldn't play it for quite a while. When I finally did it worked perfectly fine. So ya, basically if you don't have pixel shader you have to get a new video card. If that doesn't work try to update your drivers and let us know if it works =D

I think he/she has the minimum requirements as Black and White is a REALLY OLD SKOOL game.
