Hi all,
First proper post in this section of the forum for a long time now, just wondering about a little problem I have with the graphics in the sim , when i load up and go to display settings this is the screen I am shown:
Image

Laptop Specification:
Intel Celeron 1.7GHz Processor
1.43GB of Ram
UniChrome Pro IGP (P4M800 CE/Pro) 64mb Graphics

Previously I could run fs2004 on medium graphics but recently I have been getting the screen above :(

Thanks for looking

John

John have you tried reinstalling the graphics drivers?

Hi Mark,
yep I've installed the latest version of the drivers for the graphics, and changed all the graphics card settings but to no avail.

Have you edited the FS9.cfg file on your C drive? Just sometimes it doesn't correct things when you've updated and this can cause issues. When I recently re-installed FS9 after changing graphics cards and a few other things it still insisted on looking for the late Ti4600......

I have a Sony Vaio. 1.73ghz, 1gig ram and on medium settings I get 25 fps (clear skies). However, the onboard card just doesn't seem to like the modern games and they just crash. I refer to CFS3, FS9 and Virtua Tennis 3. ( I couldn't find any updates anywhere either for it. Very annoying. Still pondering what to do.

sorry for bumping this topic,

managed to sort the problem out now, turns out there was an update for windows i'd downloaded which caused this problem.

My old Sony Vaio did that. The card was bad, the RAM was bad, the processor was awesome. It was a Intel Pentium 4 at 3.0Ghz (not overclocked)
