No need to yell (=type in all caps) From your log it looks like your game isn't recognizing your graphics card. I made you video cards file that contains your card info (there is another with the same name but yours has different device number) The only change I did to that file was to add
"card 0x0156 "Intel® HD Graphics"" to the right part, hopefully that should make your game recognize it. Download and extract the attached zip and place copy to both:
\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config\
\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\CsConfig\

Hi again,

So I installed that zip and it got rid of the 'not in database' message but now it still isn't fully loading. The screen just goes black after I select which world to play in. Any ideas as to why this might be?

Thank you again Smile
