graphics hardware or driver rct3?

Question

I have been playing Roller coaster tycoon 3 gold on my vista computer several times with no problem now I get a "Your graphics hardware or driver do not meet the minimum requirements to run this application" message when I try to play it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it with no luck. It can't be the graphics card I have played the game already right? Why in the world will it all the sudden would I have a problem. Thanks

I have the radeon x200 that came with my system but I don't know how much memory it has on it. I tried to update it but there were no available updates.

Answer 1

vista sucks !!!

Answer 2

Obviously since it played before you know the graphics was good, however something happened to make it fail and that would be either a corrupt video driver, so you may want to try reload the video drivers, the other question I would ask whether the system had Windows Vista when you bought it or was it an upgrade?

Answer 3

Did you install any updates for Roller coaster tycoon 3 gold?

If you did, the updates may require a more advanced Graphics Card.

Good Luck
