    Hi!
    I am using latest version of PD5 and Win XP. Wanted to try the game "The Settlers" but when I run it, it tells me

    ---------------------------
    Fatal error.
    ---------------------------
    Your graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements:
    - Your graphics card has less than 256 MB of video memory (incl. AGP) available
    - Your graphics card does not support shader model 3.0

    Graphic card memory is set to 256 MB via VM configuration and thus also correctly displayed in the display settings under Windows XP. So Shader Model 3.0 is missing? DX 9.0c installed. Thought, PD5 support Shader Model 3.0. MacBook 3,1 from late 2007.

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance!
    Lars

    Lars,
    DirectX 9.0c does not have shader model 3.0, DirectX 10 does.
    Go to http://www.directx10.net/ to get DirectX 10 for Windows XP.

    From,
    Mike
