When it first came out, a lot of users got upset when they installed it on their system and they got told that their video card was not good enough to run it. I am not 100% sure, but if you try a different video driver for your laptop video adapter, one that supports DirectX and Direct 3D, it might just work, but maybe very very slowly?

If so, is there a way to install Direct3d without a 3d accelerator?

There should be a DirectX diagnostic buried somewhere (try looking in Program Files) which will tell you all the versions of the various DirectX components. Wade.
