Re: Shader model 1.1

Hello Kinoka, welcome to TSF.

Please download and install PC Wizard from my sig. Run it and go to FILE, SAVE AS and click ok, then save the text file and copy it's contents into this thread. Also, please open your computer and look at what power supply unit you have (brand and model).

cheers

Is your Vista 32bit or 64bit?

Re: Shader model 1.1

Ok, that may be the problem then. It doesn't seem to accept the driver. Lets try reinstalling the chipset driver and then we will try the graphics driver again. I am assuming you have Vista Home Premium here, however if you don't, then download the correct package for your Vista version, or let me know and i will help. Assuming Vista Home Premium (32bit):
  1. Set a system restore point

    To do this:
    • Open the Start menu
    • Open the Programs menu
    • Open the Accessories menu
    • Open the System Tools menu
    • Finally, start System Restore
    • Pick the option for setting a System Restore Point and click on the Next button
    • Fill in a name for the restore point so you can find it and click on the Create button
    • Click on the Close button when done


    Then...

  2. Download and install this:http://downloadcenter.intel.com/conf...OSFullName=All Operating Systems&lang=eng
  3. Restart.
  4. Download and install this: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/conf...OSFullName=All Operating Systems&lang=eng
  5. Restart.
  6. Update Direct X here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
  7. Restart.
  8. Ensure windows is up to date.

Record any errors (exactly) as they come up (if they do) so we can troubleshoot, if all goes well, try the game again. If this doesn't work then i am afraid your system is below min specs.

good luck

Re: Shader model 1.1

Hello Actor

I am currently away on holiday and stumbled apon your request, what i would suggest you do is start your own thread with the PC Wizard report and a full description of your problem. That will allow one of our very talented tech people to help until i am back on board in 2 weeks. PM me then if you haven't had any help..
