So I bought Empire Earth hoping to play it on my Hp Mini while in class, as I have memories of playing it back in the day. Anyways, after installing it, it wont work and I find out it doesn't work on netbooks. Is GOG working on fixing this? It would also be nice if you could put some kind of warning so other people dont waste their money buying a game that doesn't work.

What model of the hp mini do you have?
I own the HP Mini 1000.(more specifically, the Mini 1116r, 8.9 inch screen)

Thats got a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 chip inside it. The Empire Earth page actually does have a warning saying it will not run with this graphics chipset.

Do you not have a different computer you could play this on?
I actually have a Dell Studio 14 on the way, but i was really hoping to play it on this computer, is there not anything I can do? Any mods to the settings?
The only thing I can think of to try is 3d analyze

This program emulates some of the functions of older graphics card. Try turning it on to emulate hardware tnl. The problem is because its an emulator its pretty hard on system resources and your netbook is already on the brink of being capable to play the game if the graphics chip wasn't an issue.
It won't hurt to give it a try but if it does work its possible it will run fairly poorly if not then I think your out of luck with that game on that computer.
Thanks for all your help, if it doesn't work, at least it will work on my Dell.
