Hi, welcome to TSF

It sounds like your computer doesn't meet the game's minimum requirements for graphics. What graphics card do you have, or if it's onboard graphics, what make/model is your motherboard?


System requirements for Marine Sharpshooter II:
* Operating System: Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP
* RAM: 128 MB (Windows 2000/XP require a minimum of 256 MB of RAM)
* Graphics Card: 32 MB DirectX 9.0 compatible video card with Hardware Transform and Lighting (HW-T&L) We recommend at least an nVidia GeForce 2 or ATI Radeon 7000 video card
* Sound Card: 16bit DirectX 9.0 compatible sound card
* Hard Drive Space: 500 MB
* CD ROM: 16x

ERROR MESSAGE:

"Failed to initialize the renderer. Please ensure your video card meets the minimum requirements, your video drivers are up to date, and you are running the required version of Microsoft DirectX®."

RESOLUTION:

These messages mean that your video card does not properly support the features required by the game. Specifically, your card does not support Hardware Transform and Lighting functions, often referred to as Hardware T&L. Essentially, it's a portion of the math and setup for the graphics that the video card handles instead of the main CPU. We recommend at least a nVidia Geforce 2 or ATI Radeon 7200 video card for these games.

Note that Intel-based video chipsets do not currently support Hardware Transform and Lighting. To determine if you have an Intel video chip, follow these steps: 1) right click your desktop and select PROPERTIES 2) click the SETTINGS tab 3) click the ADVANCED button 4) click the ADAPTER tab and look at the ADAPTER section.
