Odd videocard problem.

Postby Anxyous » Tue May 20, 2008 2:57 pm

Hi.

I just got a Macbook Pro, and I'm running Vista on it.

Today I installed FSX whilst running Vista, but I wasn't hooked up to the internet, so I couldn't activate it.

I could only use the trial version, which ran absolutely perfect.

But a few hours ago, I got it hooked up to the internet, and activated FSX, but now when I try to start it, it gives me the message that my videocard isn't compatible with FSX, and that I need to download the latest drivers.

It ran absolutely perfect before, any workarounds?

Kind regards,
Andreas.

Thanks, already got it fixed though :P

I used that site actually, when I finally figured out that I needed to replace the .ini file with a modded one, to add support for the M-models.

FSX now runs like a charm :P

Thanks :)
