I just bought SC2 digitally and installed it . Now when i click on it to try to play it i get " The VIdeo Card is not accessible because no display drivers are installed , another 3d application has exclusive access or the machine was locked . " !! So i right clicked on my computer brought up device manager and under display adapters it says Standard VGA Graphics Adapter . Can anyone please help with this situation? im currently running windows 7 ultimate any and all help will be greatly appreciated thanks .
Try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest graphics drivers. Also, do you have any weird apps running? Like stuff that customizes your desktop or that sort of thing?
Try running Windows Update to see if it has an optional driver for your video card. Do you have any idea what the make and model is? Clearly the video driver isn't installed (and it needs to be). Please read my FAQ, and read the question My issue isn't addressed here? What should I do? Post a screenshot of the 2nd dxdiag tab. Hopefully it will have the hardware ID we need to try and figure out what videocard you have. If it doesn't have something like "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A02&SUBSYS_FF011179&REV_0C" then... Open up device manager again, right click on "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and select "properties." Go to the details tab, and click under "property" and change it to "Hardware Ids" Right click on the top most one (the longest one), select copy, and paste that ID into a forum post. Then we can track down what kind of video it is...
Ok thx but how do i reinstall the graphic driver ? I got windows 7 from a friend he burned it on a disc for me and if memory serves there wasnt a driver disc like with XP ? I just popped in the windows 7 disc clicked install and that was it . And to my knowledge i dont have any weird apps that run my desktop . I really appreciate ur help i wanna play the game really bad lol thx again .
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572&SUBSYS_019D1028&REV_02 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572&SUBSYS_019D1028 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572&CC_030000 PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572&CC_0300 This is what it says in devive manager
Not good. It seems its a Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller. There are no Windows 7 drivers. What are the specs for the rest of your machine? Is this a desktop or laptop? Your videocard couldn't play StarCraft II even if you had drivers. In its current state, it probably couldn't play StarCraft 1. T_T If its a desktop, you might have some options on updating it. Post your full system specs (once again, read my FAQ and look at the last question).
it is a desktop tryin to get ya a screen shot of specs but forgot how to do that lol been a long time . that sux if i cant play this only other option is trying my sons laptop . I had the same problem with this desktop with Aion and i had to install and play it on my sons laptop . i really appreciate the help tho i was going crazy lol
Just use the "print screen" button (or alt +prtscn to get just the active window) and Microsoft paint. The print screen button is located above the insert/delete buttons.

im gonna get the full specs tomorrow i got to go to bed got work tomorrow its getting late but im really glad for all your help . Im gonna try to see if my sons laptop can play it cuz its new and up to date and handled Aion which has really high specs . Thanks again tho ill be on tomorrow nite .
