Issues with startup

I used Crossover Games to download a demo of Dawn of War because under regular Crossover, it would freeze or had audio problems. Well, it corrected the audio but I had no picture. Just a blank screen. before I sink $40 into buying the full version, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!!!???

Hi Kevin,
Dawn of War requires a video card which supports T&L (Transfer and Lighting), without it the game will run quite badly. Unfortunately the Intel GMA 950 graphics card does not support this.
This problem has nothing to do with Crossover, instead being a hardware limitation.

Thanks but, I did a few upgrades of DivX and reloaded it under Crossover Games and it works like a charm. Now only thing to do is to get the full version.

Dawn of War runs fine on my Macbook with GMA X3100
It supports T&L and I can play full screen or windowed.

I have to turn the graphics down to low on everything, but I would still call the game "pretty to look at."

I will try the other Dawn of War games today, hopefully.
