So I'm using XNA with Visual C# 2010 Express for my Games uni course (and no I don't need to be told C# is crap).

The thing is I'm running on Intel integrated graphics - GMA 4500 to be precise, listed in Device Manager as "Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family", and even though I can run old-ish games reasonably, I can't compile and run any games through my laptop.

I've checked on google obviously and I found something about editing the methods using reflection so that some method or other always returns true, but that's a bit out of my league at the moment and I didn't really understand or want to be tinkering with that kind of thing.

I really need to find a work around for this error since not being able to test code at home is really impacting on my grades.

Spoiler: The Error (click to show/hide)

No suitable graphics card found.
Could not find a Direct3D device that supports the XNA Framework HiDef profile.
Verify that a suitable graphics device is installed.
Make sure the desktop is not locked, and that no other application is running in full screen mode.
Avoid running under Remote Desktop or as a Windows service.
Check the display properties to make sure hardware acceleration is set to Full.

According to this link XNA should work with the GMA series.

I tried to set hardware acceleration to Full but that option is greyed out and inaccessible.

So am I screwed or is there a quick fix for this?

Cheers

Apparently, use that dll and call DeProfiler.Run() from the constructor of your Game class as the first command.
