Spore not starting on friends HP dv6.

[zefoo]

He got spore on steam today and when we start the game it shows a black screen and the pointer has the loading symbol by it but then it closes and a message box pops up saying "Spore not responding" or something like that lol.
Here are his laptops specifications:
Processor: AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), ~1.4GHz
Graphics Card: Integrated, AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6520G
OS: Windows 7 home premium

Any idea how to fix this?

it's possible that the computer is too bad at math to handle spore

that's probably the case here

my laptop plays spore smoothly, yet it lags abit on blockland, maybe it was installed incorrectly?

* Intel Integrated Chipset, 945GM or above.
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.
* 768 MB RAM

He doesn't meet the requirements I don't believe.

I would say it's probably the game not being able to recognize the "GPU" considering it's one of those new AMD APUs.

Is the version of Windows 32-bit or 64-bit?
