3rd Gen Core i5
Intel HD 4OOO

Is this even possible?
Any help would be appreciated.

or, to put it in laymans terms: there is no way you can get your bobby car to run the quarter mile in under 10 seconds, no matter which tires (drivers) you use.

My system specs are worse and I can play the game. Are the video card drivers that you are using now from Intel or from your computer's manufacturer? I was having some serious problems when I was using the newer drivers from Intel. When I switched back to older drivers from Lenovo, the problems I was having went away.
Thanks-I did download from intel,I will try rolling back the drivers. The below info says it should run but it's almost unplayable,if the case is that it won't work on an HD 4000 they shouldn't have even mentioned it,I think.
Company of Heroes 2 system requirements (minimum)
CPU: 2 GHz dual core CPU, Intel Core 2 Duo or better
RAM: 512 MB system memory
Graphics: DirectX 9 video card with 256 RAM, Nvidia 8000-series or Radeon 3000-series or integrated graphics such as Intel HD3000 or HD4000.
Operating system: Windows XP SP3
DirectX audio card
12 GB hard disk space

Also, with regard to those system specs posted above: where did those come from? I'm pretty sure the game requires at least Windows Vista.

if i didn't make myself clear with my first post: no matter how neatly you arange it on a nice plate, a pile of dog crap will never become a 5 star menu.
the raw computing power of the hd4k, in combination with the seemingly not too optimized coh2 coding will never be sufficient to run it at a decent FPS level.
of course he can try to install 20 different kinds of drivers and re-install windows and steam, and re-download the game and so on. or you can tell your chef to take the pile of dog crap and replace it with a piece of kobe beef. saves a lot of time and nerves.

Upon reboot Windows update downgraded my graphics driver from the month old newer 10% better performing Intel one that I had installed from the Intel website-
What I did was I rolled back the drivers,then unchecked the automatic windows driver update
(Only until they catchup with intel),changed my graphics settings to high performance and lo and behold I was throwing molotovs,capping and caching fuel points,pissing down machine gun fire and artillery barraging the enemy to the extent that I actually forgot I was using a "Crapy" HD 4000.
Thanks again guys.
