Erm...gotta question peeps. Does anyone happen to own Bioshock for PC? I got it the other day (coz I don't have a 360), but (as per usual) I've got issue running it. I think my biggest concern maybe that my graphics card isn't good enough to run the bugger! Basically, the game starts up but just before it's due to flash up full-screen, it crashes and it says that the .exe stopped working. My graphic driver is an Intel 945GM Express Chipset...but the game's requirements is asking for "Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128Mb RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better)". I think the major demand of the graphic running of Bioshock is its layering and shadow effects.

Can anyone help me out here? Any PC whizzkids out there who know a way around it possibly or know of a possible solution?

You're right LF1616; this is your problem.
The video "Card" you're describing is simply an onboard chipset built into your motherboard. High-end games typically require a separate card which was installed into a PCI-Express (or AGP, if you have an older machine) expansion slot (if you don't know what this is, don't worry. If you haven't filled the slot with a graphics card, I guarantee you have one

) . While an X1300 isn't a super-high-end card by any means, it is probably significantly more powerful than the onboard video of any computer's motherboard.

If you don't plan on needing a DirectX 10 card for a long time, I'd suggest getting an X1650 Pro or X1950 Pro if you can handle the price tag (The X1950 Pro runs for about $190 here. The X1650 Pro runs around $130 or $140).

I have an X1950 card in my computer. Excellent performance, typically. Except on the newest games at the highest resolutions it performs fantastic.

(example: World of Warcraft, absolute maximum detail and view distance, 24-bit colour, 24-bit depth, 1680x1050 resolution, 6x anti-aliasing (multisampling):
60FPS (Frames per second) (simple to moderately-complex images on-screen)
40FPS (absolute lowest framerate I've ever seen it reach on my computer).

If you need a DirectX 10 card, the Radeon HD series is all DirectX 10 compatible. B)

Thanks Action! Appreciate the input there. I kinda had an inkling that that'll be the problem. In which case, I'll either have to return the game or upgrade my hardware at some point...again spending more money I DON'T have!

: Anyway, thanks for letting me know. Always good to have a techie's knowledge bestowed upon you!
