So, awhile back a game I'd been playing stopped working on my mac book - I think with a mac update. Try and plead as I might, searching the web for every solution, and I could not get it to work again. I gave in, figuring my computer was doomed to be 'too new' to play it.
Fast forward half a year to this week. For my brothers graduation, we get him a new macbook. He pulls it out, updates everything, and attempts to play the game. It works.
What.
The.
Hell.
I immediately go on a mad search for an update or something I must have missed, but all my efforts prove fruitless, nothing works. Reinstall of the game from the same disk he's using - nada. My brothers new Macbook is entirely up-to-date, and can play it. My macbook is entirely up-to-date, AND CAN NOT. What. The. Hell.
THE ERROR:
Drawsprocket cannot switch to the required resolution (640x480 16 bit, 1 buffer)

-edit-
A little more comparison work...
It appears his computer has an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. Mine has a Intel GMA X3100.
