i have a mac book pro 15 inch for last Christmas and i want to get spore and idk if i have the requirements? Please help! thanksWould my Computer work for Spore?!?
Spore doesn't really have good graphics, especially on the lowest settings.
My tablet is able to play it on all Medium settings with no lag at all (I never bothered trying high graphics because it works fine and saves battery life), and my tablet has a 1.9GHz AMD Athlon CPU, 3GB of RAM and a Radeon HD 3200, which aren't all that great.
My desktop has an AMD Athlon X2 5000+ 2.6GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM and an 8800GTS 512MB video card, and tears through it with ease.
As I said, the requirements aren't that high because even though it's really pleasing to the eye, the graphics aren't all that great.Would my Computer work for Spore?!?
It should be just fine. Although the display might be a bit small for good gaming, so connect an external monitor if possible.
Also, a separate mouse and keyboard will enhance your experience. No one likes gaming with a crappy touchpad ;)Would my Computer work for Spore?!?
Spore has very low system requirements. You should be able to play it just fine.

Why wont spore for the pc work?
ive installed it and it wont save it to my computer. i have all the requirements met but it still doesnt work. i was wondering if anybody had the solution to the problem... if u could help that would be niceWhy wont spore for the pc work?
If it doesn't work, try updating your videocard drivers. If you want me to tell you how to do this, contact me by email through my profile's page as it's a different procedure depending of the computer you have.

How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?
The game spore has two sets of requirements, one for a built-in graphics chipset and one without. How do I know which one i have?How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?
The simplest way is to look at the stickers on your laptop or PC.
Failing that, try opening the start window, right click on my computer and go to my properties (keyboard shortcut to here is windows button + pauseBreak key)
click on the hardware tab
then click on device manager.
Go to display adapters.
It should give you a bit of information about it.
If intel is the brand of your graphics card, you are pretty much screwed.
If you enjoy playing games 6 or 7 years old, you MIGHT be able to play SOME of those with an intel GPU. *eyeroll*
I have one on my computer and it can hardly play anything. Age of Empires and Need for Speed Porsche are about it.
Recently I helped a guy choose a new computer for himself and we noticed that virtually all base model intel based laptops - even the ones without the dreadful celeron chipsets - had intel GPUs.
Something to avoid like the plague if you ask me.
We found a computer of roughly equivalent power with an AMD chipset with an added 896MB NVidia graphics card. Seemed decent considering it was only 20 dollars US more.How do I know if my computer has a built-in graphics chipset?
You say: I'm guessing this means I don't have a chipset?
However, you have already found that your chipset IS the NVidia Quadro NVS.

An easy way to find out is to download GPU-z all the infos are there, you didn't tell me which OS you were using.
In start menu go to run, type "dxdiag" (without the quotes), and go to the graphics section,the info should be there.

Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?
alright to i was looking at the system requirements of the game and it seems like i'm all good with it. but when I look at the box it says, "Internet connection needed to activate product" We don't have internet at the moment. Can I still play without internet? please help.Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?
You can play without internet just don't create an online account. I think you just need it to type in your key code.Starting up with Spore, do you really need internet connections?
As part of the craptacular DRM that EA has placed with Spore, you ARE REQUIRED to have an active internet connection for your initial running of Spore.
Without the internet connection, the game will refuse to run properly until that issue is remedied.
If you don't like it, you're out of luck as alternative methods violates the the user agreement or copyright law.international trucks catalytic converter

I downloaded spore, and it wont work. I have all the system requirements, and a windows vista service pack 1.
Spore doesnt work, when i download it, and insert it in the cd slot, all it does is ask, "Do you want to run spore?" When i click run spore, it just closes and nothing happens
What should I do?Why wont spore work!?
The demo doesn't work but if you buy the game download it click start then games then click on Spore (P.S. BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!)

either wait for a patch to coome out, edit your registry ( bad idea unless you understand it) get some more general drivers from nvidia or buy another card that is supported, damn ea.

It cost me $100.00, but that was quite a few months ago its probably cheaper now. Its a really good game i got stuck into it for a while, it requires 6GB of hard drive space, it will run on Windows Vista or Windows XP, for XP you need 512 MB or higher and for Vista, 768 MB or higher and you need internet connection, it will also run on just a MAC OS.
hope this helped, its price is probably down to $70.00 by now.

What is a good, cheap(ish) CPU that would run SPORE or even Crysis well?
I'll let you define cheap. I have $80 cash right now but I'm getting more money. I'd rather spend as little as possible, but I know how that ends up working out...
I used systemrequirementlabs.com, and would like to upgrade my computer enough so that it would be able to even run Crysis on the recommended requirements. This is just a goal, so as long as it fairly well passes the minimum requirements, and plays SPORE really well, I'm happy.

I'm currently running the model below what you're looking at (Athlon X2 4200+) and with a good video card I have absolutely no problem running Crysis on med-high settings.
Spore on the other hand is nothing compared to Crysis... it doesn't require anywhere near the processing power as Crysis.

To all people who know a lot about Spore, can you please help me?
Ok, I was trying to install it on my computer, (PC) and it said "graphics below minimum spec" or something like that. I understand that I need a graphics card, but I don't know what the minimum requirements for graphics card is. If you know, could you tell me what graphics card will let me play the game, (the cheapest one), also, if possible include a link to the page so I can see it, thanks.To all people who know a lot about Spore, can you please help me?

Steam won't run Spore?
As the title suggests, I'm trying to run Spore threw the Steam client. I just bought the game yesterday while it was on sale on Steam, but when I click the icon to launch it it won't start or anything. I even tried going to the installation folder and click the launcher, but that didn't work either.
My system:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
4GB Dual channel DDR2 Ram
Saphire 3870 GPU
500W power supply
A780GM-A Black series mother board
I know it's not the best computer ever,but it does exceed the requirements to run spore.
Help?Steam won't run Spore?
open steam, open the library tab, then the games tab.
right click on steam and select proporties.
click on the 'local files' tab, and select 'verify integrity of game cache'
it should work in windows 7, if you still have issues, ask on teh steam forum under the spore section.

Why won't Spore work?
I installed Spore Galactic Edition on my XPS Laptop and it won't start. I have all the requirements to play it. I have windows vista. I installed it and it only gives me the option to view the Read-Me file. I went to the start menu looked under every file. I did a search under the computer menu. Nothing came up. Then I went to the uninstall programs menu and it showed Spore in there. I had only the options to uninstall it or leave it alone. Please help me quick.Why won't Spore work?
if you have installed it more than 3 times you have used up the limited installation... which sux because you just got ripped off.
Many people don't know it yet but games on PC are now getting "limited activation" and some background "security" crap that might disable copying devices.
So yes they messed with your computer.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you can also call their tech supportpapa ginos yamaha atv

If anyone who knows what all these techincal specs mean, I would really appreciate your knowledge if this will work on my computer. I dont want to buy the game and find out it does work with what I have.
My main concern is the 128 MB video requirements but I dont know if because mine is dual-core 64MB video with "up to 1928MB available" will work.
Also not sure about the graphics card since my version wasnt listed.
Thanks so anyone who can help!!!Will the PC game Spore work on my laptop? I have an HP tx2-1025dx?
yep it willWill the PC game Spore work on my laptop? I have an HP tx2-1025dx?

I am unsure what you are asking. It sounds like you are asking if somebody can provide you some type of download which would increase your system hardware specifications to a level which would enable ease of running Spore. You are aware that these are hardware requirements, not some type of driver that you could add to your system which would boost your systems capabilities? Drivers do not increase what you already have, they only allow for communication between the hardware component and the Operating System. Drivers can also offer features and compatibility with newer hardware if you upgrade a component.
What you need to do is upgrade your graphic card to the specification needed to run Spore. There are often sales which allow purchase of a decent mid-level graphic card. In addition to the store sale there are often also a manufacturer rebate which increased the amount of savings significantly. Watch for sales in your local hardware stores, or research what you need and then shop around at Online stores, like New Egg. I prefer to shop in stores I can actually walk into because of ease of returns and the fact these types of stores do not charge up to a 15% restocking fee. I research products online and then look for sales at local stores.
You could go to your video graphic card manufacturer website and see if a new driver is available for that particular card. As you are running XP Home your card is probably considered obsolete and you would need to search the obsolete product section for appropriate downloads. It makes your task a bit harder but it can help sometimes which would make it worth your time and effort.
I hope you find what you are looking for, good luck and have a nice day.
Edit: Use caution when allowing a website to scan your system. When you allow this type of scan the website performing the scan can actually gather information you would rather it didn't. Be sure to read the privacy policy and terms of service and if you use Internet Explorer make sure to use the Page button to bring up the security information for that site to ensure it is legitimate. Too many rogue sites claim to offer services in order to trick individuals into allowing access to their system and when they do they steal confidential information. Be very careful.

Spore used to run on my computer but now it won't load. It tells me Spore is not working.?
I have Vista and I have all the requirements to run.Spore used to run on my computer but now it won't load. It tells me Spore is not working.?
Well either the CPU/ram usage increased because of another installed application. Either the hard disk is in more usage than before...
It wont load or it just takes more time? Not responding usually means you have loaded RAM and CPU to max so the program doesnt respond now, it may respond after waiting a little
You can still reinstall it, since you usually keep saves (but backing them up in a different location wouldn't harm)
....
Try using Ctrl+Shft+Escape to close unnecessary applications

Can the sims 3 work on my mac mini?
Will the sims 3 work on my mac mini. I bought the spore game when it came out, thinking it would work, however in the create a creature tool, it wouldn't show the creature, just a black screen. So i put windows on my mac mini using boot camp and it worked fine in the windows part of my computer. I was wondering, since the sims 3 has the same game requirements as spore, then could i use the windows side of my computer to play the sims 3 on?Can the sims 3 work on my mac mini?

Spore, some new PC parts, and a wierd graphics card?
so my pc isnt the greatest. so i buy a graphics card to run SPORE, whose minimum requirements are a 128mb my current 128 mb didnt work for some reason, so i upgraded to the ATI radeon iceq x1650. it didn't work. so i downloaded older drivers with the help of tech support, and it worked. it was crappy, but it worked. then one day, i fry my CPU. so after a few weeks, i buy a new CPU, mainboard and ram. a amd athlon xp 3000+, a ASrock K7SBX mainboard, and 2 sticks of Geil RAM, a 512 and a 256, which i put in with my old 512 stick. Since SPORE only comes with 1 install and i used it, i dont want to reinstall windows on my old hard drive. so i install t on an old 12 meg hard drive and slave my 80gig. no surprise, it doesnt work. so i reinstall spore and it SEEMS to register with microsoft, but when i install my graphics drivers on my new (old) hard drive, i remember i need the old drivers. i dont know where to get them, and if i cant get them, can i just reinstall windows on my 80 gig and reinstall SPORE? can anyone help me please?

What's a decent video card to play Spore?
My computer meets all the system requirements, except my video card (it's a NVIDIA 5500). The game runs fairly well, but it's choppy and I feel like i'm missing out on the graphics. I'm looking for something under $100... I've installed other components myself, never a video card. Is there something I need to know about installing myself? My computer's about 7 years old and we're getting a new one eventually but not anytime in the near future.What's a decent video card to play Spore?

Wanting to build a computer to run the game 'Spore'?
Hey all,
Im wanting to build a computer that can play the game Spore, just wondering what parts would be suitable, and what price do think i would be looking at?
I've never built or tried to build a computer before, but i really want to. I have my old computer ( its dead, well REALLY slow) so i have the shell of the tower, the monitor, etc.
Also, here are the requirements for Spore:
Memory 鈥?XP: 512 MB RAM / Vista: 768 MB RAM
Hard Drive 鈥?At least 300 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (600 MB for digital download)
Video Card 鈥?A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0*
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least:
* Intel Integrated Chipset GMA 950 * Dual 2.0GHz CPUs, or 1.7GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
Supported Video Cards
ATI Radeon(TM) series 9500, 9600, 9800 X300, X600, X700, X800, X850 X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900, X1950 2400, 2600, 2900, 3650, 3850
( Look at added detail below)Wanting to build a computer to run the game 'Spore'?
Pcs these days are quite simple to build
Firstly you will need a new Power Supply as the one in the tower will not be suitable
If you want to go down the Intel route
Decide which 775 board you want (making sure it will fit in the case to be sure get a Uatx board) don't go for the cheapest but you do not need to go mad the motherboard manual tells you how to attach all the parts to it
Then you need a CPU I would go for a duel core CPU my self
Memory go for 677 ddr2 as thats the optimum price to speed
Sata2 Hard drive
DVD writer (they are really cheap now)
I would go for a cheap PCI-e graphics card as well as it does not add much to the budget
Memory size go for 1GB Xp or 2 GB Visa
If the hard drive is clean and never been used the os cd will boot automaticly to install XP/Vista
without the OS in the UK abou t拢180- 拢200 or $300 Us
If the computer is from scratch, and you want a decent machine id check out:
ASUS motherboards
AMD processors (my personal preference, intel fine but usually pay a little more for them for some reason)
RAM well thats an open field, but i dont go for "Budget" makes they tend to fail.
Seagate/Maxdata/fujitsu fine for Hard drives,
Geforce/Radeon graphics cards
check out www.microdirect.com its UK sales thoughWanting to build a computer to run the game 'Spore'?
If all you want it for is to play spore, you will find it a lot lot cheaper to just buy a ready made one. the only savings come from big gameing rigs.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc鈥?/a>
Edit_
that site has some excellent prices. www.overclockers.co.uk and www.ebuyer.co.uk are the cheapest around, you wont find cheaper.
just make sure when choosing a CPU you get a board with the same socket type. (eg core 2 is lga775 look for a socket 775 board, then the same type of ram, most boards are SATA so buy same type of hard drive.
if you have problems or just want to find out if your parts will work together, join this forum and ask there, but dont post links as they will ban you. just post the part names. or if you can find the manufacturers description they allow that.

if your building a computer you should get a bare bones bunddle because that would be the cheapest way. go to novatech they have alot of cheap parts heres the link http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/Wanting to build a computer to run the game 'Spore'?
Thats a taught thing to answer! Thats like me asking I want to buy a car, and You list out the kind of tires I should get!
The biggest part of building a computer is to figure out this whole parts things. If I tell you which parts then I'm building the computer.
For me, the basics kind of flow this way.
Figure out your processor first. Mostly are you going to go Intel or AMD. Intel is a little better, but a little higher priced. AMD isn't to bad, but cheaper.
Next is your Motherboard. you buy a Motherboard for the type of processor you are going to get (AMD or INTEL).
Mostly the motherboard is Buss speed or how much RAM it well hold, how many Slots you well need (PCI Express 16 4x 1x) This is the thing that kind of takes the most time to figure out. Some Motherboards have more slots for Hard Drives (SATA) but not as many slots for Graphics (or other expantion slots). So you have to figure out which one you want more.
Next is Buying RAM. Just by the best RAM for the price for the speed of your motherboard. (If you go with Vista you should get 2gb of RAM) for XP 1gb is good enough but ram is so cheap getting 2gb is good (4gb is only for 64bit os)
After that, its just a matter of how much you want to spend,
Graphic Card (ATI or Nvidia), Hard drive size (if you download music and videos or edit home movies you want more space)
DVD burner
Keyboard mouse and all of that extras.
There are plenty of tutorials online of how to build a computer.
For what you want any computer in the last year well probably work, even $500 from dell. The point of building the computer it put everything you want in it!
Any questions ask.
One last thing, I go to newegg.com you can buy your computer parts here (there are other places also) but I mostly read reviews, from customers. http://www.tomshardware.com/ is another place to go to read up on new things, go to there Charts to figure out which process or graphic card is faster compare them.
What ever you do have at least 1GB and memory and DON'T USE VISTA IT IS A RIP IT IS COMFUSING I REPEAT DO NOT INSTALL VISTA. use windows XP or 2000. they are the most stable, and you can make xp look like vista. for spore and other the sims games, i like using Nvida GeForce, ATI Radeon has lots of problems. Use a 250 GB 9200 RPM HDD, they are fast and can install games faster the higher the RPM #. when you pick a case, thermal take is good at making your gaming pc fast. most of this stuff is at www.zipzoomfly.com (i don't know how to make links)

Next is your Motherboard. you buy a Motherboard for the type of processor you are going to get (AMD or INTEL).
Mostly the motherboard is Buss speed or how much RAM it well hold, how many Slots you well need (PCI Express 16 4x 1x) This is the thing that kind of takes the most time to figure out. Some Motherboards have more slots for Hard Drives (SATA) but not as many slots for Graphics (or other expantion slots). So you have to figure out which one you want more.
Next is Buying RAM. Just by the best RAM for the price for the speed of your motherboard. (If you go with Vista you should get 2gb of RAM) for XP 1gb is good enough but ram is so cheap getting 2gb is good (4gb is only for 64bit os)
After that, its just a matter of how much you want to spend,
Graphic Card (ATI or Nvidia), Hard drive size (if you download music and videos or edit home movies you want more space)
DVD burner
Keyboard mouse and all of that extras.
There are plenty of tutorials online of how to build a computer.
For what you want any computer in the last year well probably work, even $500 from dell. The point of building the computer it put everything you want in it!
Any questions ask.
One last thing, I go to newegg.com you can buy your computer parts here (there are other places also) but I mostly read reviews, from customers. http://www.tomshardware.com/ is another place to go to read up on new things, go to there Charts to figure out which process or graphic card is faster compare them.
What ever you do have at least 1GB and memory and DON'T USE VISTA IT IS A RIP IT IS COMFUSING I REPEAT DO NOT INSTALL VISTA. use windows XP or 2000. they are the most stable, and you can make xp look like vista. for spore and other the sims games, i like using Nvida GeForce, ATI Radeon has lots of problems. Use a 250 GB 9200 RPM HDD, they are fast and can install games faster the higher the RPM #. when you pick a case, thermal take is good at making your gaming pc fast. most of this stuff is at www.zipzoomfly.com (i don't know how to make links)
Will this computer (LapTop) run spore? How much will it cost to upgrade?
Okay theres this laptop that is 5 and a half years old, has a 12GB harddrive (I can delete alot off of that and make it more if the guy was right when he said 12GB) Pendium 3 proccessor with 512MB of RAM (I can buy memory) with a CD and floppy drive. I see it doen't QUITE reach the requirements for Spore. But what do I need to upgrade? How? And how much will it cost to upgrade?Will this computer (LapTop) run spore? How much will it cost to upgrade?
Like Aaron said, you're out of luck there. The unfortunate things about laptops is that other than the memory and hard drive, nothing else can be upgraded (unless you're one creative SOB). You're only solution is to buy another PC.
If you want something for gaming, I'd definitely say that you should go with a desktop. Laptops can game, don't get me wrong, however the upgradability, power, and bang-for-your-buck of a desktop outweighs the portability of any notebook (personal opinion).
For a good desktop, search around sites like Tigerdirect and Newegg and see what deals they have. They often have sales on different desktops. They also have barebone kits for a pretty decent price, only thing is you'll have to build them yourself and buy a few more components (operating system, video card, cd/dvd/bluray drives, monitor, keyboard, mouse, upgraded cooling, etc.).
Look around for a quad core processor (dual works fine if you're on a budget), 3+ gigs of RAM (REMEMBER, you MUST have a 64bit operating system in order to utilize more than 4 gigs of RAM), and one or two hard drives. For video cards, I love my 9800 GT (because I got it free from a friend, woohoo!) but for higher-end games you will need to shell out big money on your card.
If you need that portability then just go with a slightly more expensive model laptop, that way you'll get both. I'd recommend an HP or an Acer, but look for one that states the graphics card (Radeon HD 4650, etc.). You'll need anywhere from 2-4 GB of RAM (the more the better), and a 250GB hard drive should be fine (if you really need 500+ gigs on a laptop, just friggen buy a 2.5" portable drive. That much in an everyday laptop is overkill.).
All-in-all, expect to pay about $400+ for any (decent) new computer. The better specifications you choose, the higher the price. The best advice I can give you is to compare every system that looks interesting with other websites. You see one you like on Newegg, then you look for one similar on Tigerdirect, as well as Bestbuy, Costco/BJ's/Sam's Club, etc.
Hope any of this helps!Will this computer (LapTop) run spore? How much will it cost to upgrade?
There is no way, Spore requires a p4 processor or higher, There is no way you can upgrade the laptop.

If you can play the PC game Spore, can you play the Sims 3?
My laptop far exceeds the minium requirements for spore and the sims 2. I can play the sims 2 very well on my laptop, and though i only tried Creature Creator for Spore, it runs great and smooth. I know the only real difference between Spore and Sims 3 is amount of RAM, so...
P.S I know I already posted this question but I did it in the wrong section :)If you can play the PC game Spore, can you play the Sims 3?
Sims 3 requires at least 1.5gb of RAM for laptops. So check that.
It'll requires the same graphics cards as SPORE, so you should be all set! That doesn't mean it'll play nicely if you only have the bare minimum.
I am also looking forward to Sims 3, which is going to be selled for 49,99$ on the 3rd of june. I hope they will release a demo so we can try it on our computers.
I must say that the Creature Creator is FAR LESS DEMANDANT than the actual game. But if it works, you should be able to play SPORE. SPORE really is a great game. you can get it for 41,99$ at WalMart. It's there that it'll be the cheapest. I personnaly have the galactic edition and I enjoy it.If you can play the PC game Spore, can you play the Sims 3?
Ok. the X3100 will probably be the bare minimum for Sims 3. You'll be able to play it. You have a graphic card that is about as powerful as mine.
You should be able to, when the game comes out there should be a system requirements for it on the site, but I am pretty confident that you can.

I think that board is AGP but it is so old I am not certain about it. You are running on onboard integrated graphics. Judging from your Bus clock of 133 your CPU is going to be way too slow for many games and or Graphics cards out today... You really need to work on getting a whole budget system. I am not trying to be mean, but just trying to point you in the right direction... I cannot make a definate find on the net about if you have an AGP slot or not. If you have no AGP slot you are left with getting a PCI slot graphics card, but there is no garantee that it will work with your system.

thank you very much to all who read/answer!Could my computer handle Spore if it can handle WoW?
If you have problems running WoW then Spore will not run very well at all.
WoW requires an 800mHz processor, Spore requires 2.0gig
WoW only needs a 32mb graphics card, Spore is going to need a 128mb one.Could my computer handle Spore if it can handle WoW?
Ya it might be close, but Spore might not work as it requires much more resources than WoW.Could my computer handle Spore if it can handle WoW?
Yes, it should. The game is made for the mainstream market, the same market World of Warcraft targets. So if you can run WoW, you should be able to run Spore without any difficulty. Don't forget, these are the guys that made The Sims, they want to hit a large audience and won't limit themselves by making the requirements very steep.

Will my laptop run spore?
ok, i recently found out that the system requirements for spore full game are for vista:
* 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 768 MB RAM
* A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* At least 6 GB of hard drive space
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires at least:
* Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
* 768 MB RAM
I don't have any external graphics chipset so i think mine is built in. i have 1.86 GHZ and 1 gb RAM. is it worth buying the game? i tried the spore creature creator trial and that works fine! should i buy the game or will it be slow on my laptop?Will my laptop run spore?

Find spore in the list, it will analyze your computer and tell you.
Yes, spore doesn't require much to run good.Will my laptop run spore?

yeah itll probably run it, youll just have to turn the graphics down.Will my laptop run spore?
It'll work just fine, enjoy the game! My son sure does.
It's the pickiest game ever. My graphics card was too low and it installed fine, then a pop-up window said, basically, "Yeah, we're not even going to try to run it. Kthnx bye."
I installed it on my desktop.
Generally, unless you have a alienware-like specs, not gonna happen.

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/ref…Will Sims 3 and Spore work on my laptop?
No. Sims 3 requires AT LEAST a GeForce 8600 GTS to run fluidly and that processor does not cut it either. Same with Spore, except slightly lesser (8600 GT, from experience).
Just get a desktop, preferably one with a half-decent graphics card and a good CPU. I've never heard of someone preferring laptop gaming over true desktops.

Spore System Requirements?
I just purchased Spore today after waiting for a year for it to come out.
I finished installing it, then went for it, and open up the game.
it says "Sorry, your graphics card does not meet up with our min spec."
Now, this is what the Sims2 said before, and then my sister re-installed it a few months later and it worked...
i'm really ticked off now, all I wanna do is play.
I have a Windows XP Home Edition
which was bought in 2004
and my Card is a radeon 9000 (IF)
and i have directX version 9.
can anyone help, or am i completely hopeless?
Thanks a Bunch.

I finished installing it, then went for it, and open up the game.
it says "Sorry, your graphics card does not meet up with our min spec."
Now, this is what the Sims2 said before, and then my sister re-installed it a few months later and it worked...
i'm really ticked off now, all I wanna do is play.
I have a Windows XP Home Edition
which was bought in 2004
and my Card is a radeon 9000 (IF)
and i have directX version 9.
can anyone help, or am i completely hopeless?
Thanks a Bunch.

Why won't my computer play spore?
I have Windows Vista and all requirements are met. I installed Spore and it went through everything fine, but afterwards it acted like nothing happened. It didn't even TRY to get into the game. I got no errors or anything. Everytime I try and restart the game, it'll ask if I want to play it, then when I select the "install/play" option it just does nothing again. I had the same issue with Creature Creator. Found a solution in the spore help section but can't find it again. Any ideas anyone?Why won't my computer play spore?
go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE in your computer. then go to spore bin and double click on the icon. Worked for meWhy won't my computer play spore?
I got the that spore creature creator with the mail and it needs to be linked to the internet because it does not work without it.Why won't my computer play spore?
I don't have an answer - but I am having the same problem! Running the program as an administrator didn't work...
try right clicking on the icon and selecting "run as administrator"

there is a problem with alot of spore discs, its just the risk of buying a new game. the supplier will probably come out with something to fix it, like most games with glitches and problems. just wait i guess D: sorry

I have a question about Spore.?
Are the system requirements for Spore the same as the requirements for Spore Creature Creator?I have a question about Spore.?
The SPORE game would need a bigger memory, but the graphics and all the rest would be the same.

Need spore registration code?
I bought the spore game around a year ago near when it came out and I didnt look at the system requirements, and my computer didnt meet them, but i didnt realize that until i installed the game, and i got a new computer (not for that reason) and now when I try to install the game onto the new computer it says the code is invalid because it thinks i already used it on my old computer, so can somebody please give a me a registration code? I would really appriciate it!
Thanks!Need spore registration code?
you should be able to play with more then one computer, make sure you got the right code and try again. uninstall the game from the old computer if you think that is the problem.
and screw the guy above meNeed spore registration code?
Contact EA. You've run into a DMR issue. It is a program that limits the number of times that you can install Spore, you have hit your allowed limit. (The program installs without notice and checks the limits every time you start installing Spore.)
EA now, after a lot of SCREAMING customer complaints, offers a utility that can remove a computer's installation of Spore from that computer. Use that utility on your old computer and you will free up the installations to install on the new one.
If you don't have the old computer anymore, contact EA customer support and ask for them to wipe the code from ALL installed computers. You will need to provide the code you have so they will do this.
I'm afraid no one is going to give you their registration code, or the exact thing that happened to you is going to happen to them too.Need spore registration code?
Look..Dude... I dont play Spore but I'd like to advice you one thing nobody will give you there registration code and they give a damn 'bout your appreciation so try and contact the EA helpline....
Try and buy a download off EA.com they might be able to give a discount off the store price.

Is a 1.79Ghz processor with 1gig of RAM enough to run EA's Spore smoothly?
I know the system requirements call for at least a 2.0Ghz processor with 512 of RAM to run spore but does anyone have any experience with running this game (or other games) on a system less than par? I thought maybe the additional 512 of RAM would be enough to successfully run the game. I downloaded the creature creator and it ran fine but the full game is probably a little more demanding of the system Is a 1.79Ghz processor with 1gig of RAM enough to run EA's Spore smoothly?
its not the processor or the memory, but not only do you have to meet the minimum requirements, you also have to have a good graphics cards, or itll be all choppy when you play. if you dont have the minimum, the installer will say you dont meet the requirements and quit.
The minimum spec sez 2gig P4 and 512 Ram
So if i had to guess id say yeahIs a 1.79Ghz processor with 1gig of RAM enough to run EA's Spore smoothly?
It might and it might not. Since you only have 1.79gb processor, sometimes it does not even open.
Getting a better video card will help drastically. I dont know the specs for cpu or ram, but a better video card always helps the most.(unless youre running a p2 or p3 lol!!)Is a 1.79Ghz processor with 1gig of RAM enough to run EA's Spore smoothly?
You should SERIOUSLY go to www.systemrequirementslab.com, BEFORE you spend 50 bucks on "Spore", just to find out your PC won't run it at all, and then you'll be a pissed off consumer, who failed to do their homework BEFORE they bought the game and took it home.
It will scan your PC and give you a "Pass" or "Fail" grade on hardware, and show you where your PC sits on a minimum and recommended scale.
I'm guessing you will be below the minimum and FAIL with your current PC.
I might pick it up tonight, but my upgraded PC sooooo smokes the specs... $50 for a modern day "Monster Rancher"...Hmmmm? :Dwhat day is it restaurants in pittsburgh

Can I upgrade my computer to meet system requirements?
I just got Spore and was disappointed to discover that I can't play it ~ on my PC or Mac. I was wondering if I could upgrade either of them or if I need to buy a new PC (I think mine is 6 or 7 years old). I listed the where my computers do not meet the requirements:
----Spore Mac Requirements:
鈥?Mac OS 10.5.3 (Leopard)
鈥?ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100 video card
----My MacBook:

鈥?2.0 GHz P4 processor
----My PC:
鈥?Windows XP (service pack 2)
鈥?AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3300+ (1.81 GHz)
Could you please let me know if I can upgrade either of my computers and how I would do that? Thanks in advanceCan I upgrade my computer to meet system requirements?
You could upgrade but I think its better just to buy a new computer. If your planing to upgrade your PC you will end up upgrading most of the components in the computer so just recommend you a new computer. Can I upgrade my computer to meet system requirements?
Well the answer is easy you really have to get a new one. if your computer is that old the motherboard probably isn't compatibly with the new processors or the graphic card you could easily buy a computer that has that requirements for lets say 500鈧?in europe if you from the USA probably less.Can I upgrade my computer to meet system requirements?

P.S. - I have a PC, DellHow do you get Spore to work?
If you have a Vista, you need to follow these steps:
1. Go to the Start Menu
2. Click on Games in the right hand corner
3. Then click on Spore.

I just downloaded Spore the game and everything installed the right way and everything but it doesn't work?
I hit finish after everything was done and i clicked on the spore icon on my desktop and it wont open. I have a brand new Toshiba Vista laptop and i did my research and i have all the things i need to run Spore i've even called EA and they said i had the right requirements. So why the heck does it not open?I just downloaded Spore the game and everything installed the right way and everything but it doesn't work?
It takes a while to open for me. It'll sit there for a good minute not doing anything at all, then it'll start opening.
Check if it has Securom, which can limit the number of computers the game can be put on.

Spore creature creator full version does not start?
i bought it for ten bucks. The farthest I can get is just installing it. And then I can't even find the shortcut to run it. I have a Windows Vista. I have all the system requirements.Spore creature creator full version does not start?
This is what you need to do to find it. You go to computer (when
you press the button on the lower left corner there should be a
shortcut for it on the side), then go to local disc (C:),then go to program files,then electronic arts, and finally SPORE (there should be a icon for creature creator inside that folder).Spore creature creator full version does not start?

im having the same problem. But even when i found the icon and created a shortcut, nothing happens when i click on it. Even when i reinsert the CD, the autorun thing pops up, but nothing happens when i click on it. im getting so frustrated!electric car dcu center

You have to pirate it. The sad thing is that EA put so much protection on it in an attempt to stop pirates that it hurt the people who bought it legit. The pirates broke through the protection right when it was released, and then it works perfectly.How do I get the game spore to play on my computer?
try ending some background tasks to free up some RAM and then try seeing if itll run after that

Will Spore Work On My Computer?
I don't know if the game spore will work on my computer. I checked out the requirements on the spore website but I'm not sure. I have a Windows XP 2002. It has enough GHz, but I only have 496 mb RAM and you need 512. Also, I don't know what a video card is and I don't know how to find out how many mbs are in mine if I have one.Will Spore Work On My Computer?
Probably not. An '02 XP is outdated by today's terms, and if you don't have enough RAM to support it, it'll be hell trying to play it.
Although, if you really wanted to check, you can visit http://www.systemrequirementslab.com and see if it'll run on your computer.Will Spore Work On My Computer?

Ok, is the EA's "can i run it" a load of poo? it says i can run creature creator but not spore?
ok, so i have creature creator and i can run it fine and dandy. the ea "can i run it" application tells me i can run it cuz i have a 2.6ghz processor, but its rated at a 3.somethin. when i run it to see if i can run the full spore game it tells me i cant (i only fail in the cpu area, but both the creatore creator and the spore requirements are the same, 2.0) so am i doomed to a life or no spore, or is the EA's "can i run it" a load of poo?Ok, is the EA's "can i run it" a load of poo? it says i can run creature creator but not spore?
Not sure about all the system requirements, but I do know that Spore won't come out until September. Only creature creator is available right now. Maybe that is causing your problem? Sorry if that didn't help.unique baby girl names battlefield bad company

Why is my copy of spore creature creator crashing?
I bought the full copy and it crashes after the splash screen. I hope it isn't like Company of Heroes, that wouldn't let you play it if you were under the system requirements. (Don't start, I am barely under the minimum processor speed and have a integrated graphics card.Why is my copy of spore creature creator crashing?
I had the same problem. In addition to installing the Creature Creator, I also installed EA's Download Manager. That was the problem. If you did the same, just delete the Manager and restart your computer. Should work fine after that.Why is my copy of spore creature creator crashing?
OK, by the sound of it, it sounds like a piece of junk. You should go down to Wal-Mart ( OR WHEREVER THE HELL U GOT IT :P) and demand a refund. They'll probally give you a brand new copy or money to buy another brand new company. and if you ordered it online, well, basiclly your screwed.Why is my copy of spore creature creator crashing?
That's your reason. You need to upgrade. My integrated intel could barely run Half Life 2 and won't even let me start up Spore. So I am currently upgrading right now.
I recommend getting:
At least 512mb ram
2.5 or higher processor (Pentium 4)
ATI Radeon card (I've heard of a number of problems from Nividia cards)

Can I upgrade my Inspiron 6000 for Spore?
I've been looking at the requirements for Spore and I currently can not run it. I've heard some things about Dell Inspiron 6000s being upgradeable.
It was bought about 3 years ago, and it most likely has the most basic (and cheapest) hardware that comes standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiron_6000#Inspiron_6000
I know for sure that I have a 1.6GHz processor and that I need at least 2.0GHz for Spore.

Will Spore run on my computer?
I want to know if Spore will run on my computer or not. The only thing I'm not sure about is the processor. Also, does anyone know what you need to make sure the game is running WELL? I can only find minimum requirements. (The Sims2 is slower than heck on my computer and I would like Spore to run at a fairly normal speed due to the nature of the game.)
Okay, about the processor now. I have a Celeron CPU 2.93 GHz and the Spore requirement is a 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent. Is mine equivalent or better?Will Spore run on my computer?
Check the minimum requirements for the game. Processor speed may be important, but so is how much RAM you have, as well as how good your video card is. The minimum requirements should state all of that.
If you have less than a Gig of RAM and have an on-board video card, you don't have a hope in hell of running it.Will Spore run on my computer?
no, celeron proccessors are very low end processors. You would be able to run it but i can tell you right now, its not going to run smooth.

Need Help with graphics for Spore?
I have a PC and according to the box for the game Spore one of the requirements is a "128 MB video card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0" as far as I know my computer only has a 64 MB video card. Because of this I cant run spore. Is there anyway I can with my current card?Need Help with graphics for Spore?
Ok, if you only have 64mb, them ou probaly have an intergrated graphics card.(meaning its built in ti your mother board)
(and for the mb, the intergrated graphics card uses memory from your ram)
you can change how much memory is reserved for your graphics card in the boot setup.
As for playing spore, as long as your pc isnt too old, you should be able to run it.italian foods applebees application

If spore doesnt work on one comp. can I put it on another?
I tried putting spore on this one computer but the video doesnt meet its minimum requirements, but that registration was the 3rd one. Can delete spore from that computer and put it on another one and still be able to register it??? If spore doesnt work on one comp. can I put it on another?

Will the game spore work with a AMD Athlon 64-FX?
I meet all requirements, assuming that is enough.
Also, I am aware of all the DRM issues surrounding Spore, so please do not say not to buy it because of them. I am aware of them, and comfortable in my buying decision. But thank you for your concern.Will the game spore work with a AMD Athlon 64-FX?
I'm not familiar with AMD processors, but you should be okay. As a general rule of thumb, the processor influences draw distance (how far you can see) in games. So, if the option is there, you can increase performance by reducing draw distance with a lower end processor.Will the game spore work with a AMD Athlon 64-FX?
You might have to reduce graphics levels, but it should be enough, proved your RAM and video card are up to spec.

You are going to have to tell us what processor it require, and what you have. Not just the speed number
If they require a Pentium 4 2.0GHz, and you have a Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, you can run 2 spore at a time, lol.
Modern architecture allow higher performance. the speed number means little when comparing 2 different generation of processor.I have 200 MHz processor speed below the system requirements for a game; will I be able to play it?
It depends on what kind of processor. Clock speeds really aren't as important as they used to be. A modern 1.8 ghz processor can easily outperform a 2.0ghz processor from the year 2002.I have 200 MHz processor speed below the system requirements for a game; will I be able to play it?

How can I get spore to work?
I just bought spore for my windows XP and I meet the requirements. I installed it and it installed fine, but when i tried to play it a window popped up saying, " spore has ecnountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I dont know what to do, can someone help me please?How can I get spore to work?
you probably are lacking space on your computer...or something has gone wrong with one of the files. you might have corrupted one accidentely. try reinstalling. if not, go to tech support. specifically tech support run by the company that created the game
I would love to know. I installed Spore on my computer a few weekends ago, and it worked fine. I had to install a new hard drive on my computer just recently, and now i get that error message when I try to load spore (although the actual re-installation process was just fine).
I'm pretty bummed. That copy of spore was a gift to me from my dad, and I can't gets it to work :( I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling, hopefully that will work. My video cards should be up to date, but I'll check on that if plan A fails. Otherwise... Guess I'll try to contact EA or Microsoft about it :S Good luck... How can I get spore to work?
I had a very similar problem; took me a week to sort it out. For me the problem was that I used the Creature Creator before getting the full game, and the uninstall function did not properly uninstall it. The solution was to manually uninstall the Creature Creator and then reinstall Spore.
Spore is pretty F***d up....I could never connect to the internet servers and have tried everything
Great game ( although a bit overated).....If you're having problems phone EA although the support is crap

If my computer wont play Spore, can it play the Sims?
My computer wasn't able to play Spore. I dunno why. I'm not sure how to check to see if my computer fits the minimum requirements, so not being able to play Spore if just kinda somethin' to go off of. Oh, it can run World of Warcraft. Would I be able to play Sims 3 or Sims 2 with a couple of expansion packs?If my computer wont play Spore, can it play the Sims?
System Requirements Lab will assess your system specs against the minimum requirements for a number of games, including Spore, The Sims 2 (with various add-ons) and Sims 3.
Sims 3 minimum requirements are similar to those of Spore, except the Spore needs only 512Mb RAM (768Mb with integrated graphics), whereas Sims 3 requires 1Gb RAM (1.5Gb with integrated graphics).
Sims 2 minimum requirements are less than World of Warcraft's, the latter needs a graphics card that supports directx 9.0c but the basic Sims 2 graphics minimum is a directx 8.1 card... Both games require only an 800MHz processor.
At least some of the Sims 2 expansion packs require a 9.0c graphics card, plus a 1GHz processor.
Try the link below to check out which games are viable on your PC, any see which component(s) need to be upgraded.If my computer wont play Spore, can it play the Sims?
If it can't play Spore, it can't play Sims 3.
It is possible that it can run Sims 2 if you have a 32MB or more Graphics Card.nada boats battlefield 2 1.5

Initial gut reaction? yeah as long as you get an 8XXX series video card. but then again game companies have been known to understate the minimums to get people to buy the game. The less options you skimp on the better your chances are.
The smart money is any computer made within the last two years is capable of running it. They can't afford to exclude TOO many people and they have been working on this game for a good while.

I can run the Spore creature creator on my computer, can I run the whole game?
All of my system requirements fit the minimum specs except the processor, which is an Intel Celeron M processor with 1.4 ghz. The game needs (supposedly) 2 ghz but I can run the creature creator I downloaded from spore.com. Can I count on running the whole game?I can run the Spore creature creator on my computer, can I run the whole game?
No, It should run fine as long as you set it to low. I find low not a bad handy cap actually in newer games, but just be careful on what you choose.
But your laptop, if it has an integrated graphics card then no. My laptop was $1100 and it cannot run HT%26amp;L properly thus not being able to run parts of the game.I can run the Spore creature creator on my computer, can I run the whole game?
itd lag all to hell and it wouldnt be as good as with a two or more ghz processor, and it might not work at all

What settings should I use for "Spore" on a slow computer?
I am playing Spore on a computer that is decent, but just barely meets the games requirements. Because of this, I kept the default "low" setting for shadow, depth of field, texture detail, etc. I wanted to know if there were any of those categories specifically that I could set to medium, or even high, that would make the overall graphics appear better than the others would. Any combination of highs, mediums and lows that would get me the best graphics for the lowest amount of lagging possible would be very appretiated.What settings should I use for "Spore" on a slow computer?
I have the same problem with Spore. Shut down as many background processes as you can,and keep your settings low . I also close out the game when it starts to run really slow and then restart it . The cache files will clear, and it will run better on restart .Go,Fight,Win!!What settings should I use for "Spore" on a slow computer?
ur momWhat settings should I use for "Spore" on a slow computer?
Set everything to the lowest.. it's not like it's that hard to figure out. If you want graphics in games, buy/build a better rig. Rigs that have minimum requirements for games simply means that.. You have to have atleast that for the game to run.. which means you're one step above not even being able to run it, therefore.. you have to sacrafice graphics.

Just Bought Spore Today, why is it not working?
I bought Spore today, all the requirements are met on my Vista computer, except for .02 GhZ of CPU.
I installed, and had to install some Adobe thing, so I did that. After that I assumed I was all good, wrong. The game never opened. So I restarted the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Same problem.
Why is the game not opening? Also, i have a built in nvidia GeForce go 7400 video card, could that be a problem?Just Bought Spore Today, why is it not working?
Im not entirely sure, but i do know spore is an extremely graphicaly demanding game, but you do have a nice model of a graphics card, i suggest you call the helpline or go to the troubleshoot website for more detailed help.Just Bought Spore Today, why is it not working?
Is it not opening when you click it or can you just not find it to open it?

My PC game, SPORE, freezes when trying to start a game, how can I fix this?
When I play SPORE, the game always freezes when trying to create a game in any of the stages. Usually right when I click on the mode I want to play. My video card, memory, MB RAM all match up to the system requirements. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening? Any tips?
Additional Notes:
I installed the latest version of Direct-X and installed the latest Windows Update. I use the Windows Vista.My PC game, SPORE, freezes when trying to start a game, how can I fix this?
shut down anything not required to run the game. if it continues to lock up, odds are you're not going to get it running.

Is Spore a good game to play without the internet?
i am a true sims geek and I would like to try out Spore. However, I saw that the requirements mention an internet connection???? I do not have internet access and I would like to try the game but will the internet make it less phone on not playable??? I would also like someone's opinion on the game. Didi you like/dislike it? Thanks.Is Spore a good game to play without the internet?
No, the internet is not required to play spore. The reason why it says that, is because I'm pretty sure there's an option to play against other people (I have never used this feature). But I think that's all that you need the internet for. The game works fine without it, and is still really fun. At least in my opinion. I do really like the game, and it's for the most part, fairly unique. The only thing that I don't like about the game is the "civilization era." And that's because it's very similar to games like Age of Empires, or Civilization. But it also has a really awesome "galactic era", and cell stages, and it's just really cool to go through evolution like that I guess. It's an awesome game, and in my opinion it's worth getting.Is Spore a good game to play without the internet?

Spore will not run on my laptop, but I think I meet the system requirements.. Help?
I just bought Spore yesterday and everything installed fine.. But when I click to run the game, it ALMOST opens it up (like the screen turns black as if its about to run) but then Vista pops up with a friendly message saying, "The program has encountered a problem and needs to close. We will notify you if a solution becomes available." I'm pretty sure my laptop meets the requirements.. It can play KOTOR, Half Life 2 (low settings) and Doom 3... I have 4 gigs of RAM, ATI Radeon X1200 Graphics card, 160 gig hard drive, and a dual processor.. Pentium 4, I think. Can someone please help me?Spore will not run on my laptop, but I think I meet the system requirements.. Help?
Your card is not on the list, as stated above, and if you read the box (under pc spec) It says the laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Meaning there is no guarantee the game will work at all on your laptop. Sorry... Maybe try uploading your graphics card driver. Go on the ATI Radeon website and it should be there if there is an update. That may help.Spore will not run on my laptop, but I think I meet the system requirements.. Help?
update all your drivers and directx. make sure all unneccessary programs are turned off.Spore will not run on my laptop, but I think I meet the system requirements.. Help?
Your card isnt on the list for supported cards : Should have read on the game before you bought it. Here read this::

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts, such as the 945GU, GML, and GMS, will not perform adequately.
Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn聮t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
