    You really need to furnish more specs to determine if and how well SC2 will run on that machine. Namely CPU and video card.

    I'm assuming you did the hardware check on YouGamers. Post a screenshot of the results here. I have a feeling you probably have integrated graphics and even turned down to the lowest settings, some of them just don't have the necessary features that the game uses (shader model version, etc) to function.

    GMA3100... Ouch... Unless you fancy playing at less than 10 FPS, don't bother. Highly suggest upgrading to at least a Radeon HD4650 ($50) or 4670 ($70).
