Problem with VGA card

wicked_dude · 31-05-2008, 08:11 AM

It seems that i have succesfully installed the game but when i try to launch it i get the error message "Your video card does not support Shader 3.0, that is required", though my card does support Shader v3.0, as I use the 7600GT.
All drivers are up to date, and i can't figure out how to solve this problem.

My PC specifications:
Intel Core2Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz
ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS motherboard
3GB RAM
250GB Seagate Baracuda Sata2 HDD
ASUS GeForce 7600GT 256MB
Win xp professional SP3

Solved this.
The problem was caused by impropper graphics drivers instalation.
Old graphics card drivers must be uninstalled before installing new ones, othervise if overwriting them you'll get that kind of error.

Wonderful stuff. Its always best to remove the old drivers before installing the new ones.
