Have u installed the latest drivers and directx9c. Try to play some other game if it also doesn't run then reinstall the drivers and directx. If it runs then there must be some problem with farcry installation so reinstall it. See if this helps. Reply.

What's ur pc config? And could u please describe ur problem step by step, including NFS UG2. Run directx daignostic tools and under DISPALY tab see if all three directx features are enabled or under DIRECTX FILES see if there is a problem. Reply.

@Reddick, all your posts above the last one with only smileys in them have been deleted. You already are on a warning tag, do you want to say bye-bye to the forums? Is no, then follow the forum rules and stop spamming like this.

As for your problem, i dunno how did you manage to run FarCry on onboard graphics. Mind to state which motherboard do you have? And install the latest display drivers for them so that NFS UG2 would run.

Your post count has nothing to do with you staying in or out of the forum. In fact, the higher the post count, the easier it is to warn and ban users. Older users are expected to behave in accordance with forum rules and set an example for newbies.

As for your problem, I agree with Sourabh. FarCry is graphically intensive and onboard solutions just don't cut it. List your motherboard make and the onboard graphics chipset that it carries. Update drivers and see if it helps.

Man..... onboard gfx is just not sufficient to run FARCRY smoothly. Better upgrade.

Just make sure you have SP2 installed and everything will take care of itself.
