First off, download the patch (http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/Jedi_Knight_Academy_Patch_101;20459).

The game should run, I'm guessing that's a Dell you have. If you get the game started, you'll have to turn down the resolution to around 800x600, and the graphics will have to be set on no higher than medium.

I have the same exact card, runs fine for me. My specs:

Same Card
Intel Celeron 2.8 Ghz
512 RAM
Win XP SP1


Strangly enough, its saying your card isn't Open GL compatible. I would definatly update your drivers.

I prefer beta drivers. Some offical NVIDIA drivers (especially 77.77) seem to prevent my JA from running. And another offical driver also prevented me from playing HL2. Dont know whats wrong with NVIDIA these days, they use to make good drivers with absolutely no flaws in them.

I hate it when drivers make some games work, at the cost of other games.

lol, then you should really get a video card upgrade ASAP. Intel Extreme will never work on today's games. :p The GeForce 6600GT is pretty cheap i heard, you should get one of those. If not a 9800 Pro will do.

btw, i was quite surprised that even Intel Extreme could work on JA. The only sucky-est video card i've seen running on JA was a Voodoo 3DFX
