	I have Intel graphics, what should I do? Increase Your PM Length

I recently bought RON, but it won't run. I can install it fine, and it plays the opening movie before crashing, saying "gathering exception information", and the trying to send an error report to M$ (the puter I have it on does not have an internet connection). I have Intel 815 grpahics, so I'm guessing this is the problem. According to the readme, the game crashes and there "is no known solution". Should I:

1) Hope this gets fixed in a patch (hopefully 3). Does anyoneknow what is being fixed in patch 3? Should I ask M$/BHG?

2) Try and get a refund/sell it.

3) Fork out for a graphics card. If I did this, the only reason would be to play RON, and I am not sure buying a new card for just one game is a good idea.

4) some other option I have not thought of yet.

Thanks in advance.

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

The answer to # 3 kind of depends on your system.

If you've got the 815 w/a celleron, I'd say don't upgrade the graphics card. Otherwise, a mid/low range radeon 9000 AIW is about $90 now.

About Patch 3, ask BHG. They might reply if you don't call them MS, not M$ .
