Hi, could you please tell me if there is anyway i can update new drivers or anything else without making a purchase, to be able to play this game as it says it's required..
my graphis card info is as follows.
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) Calistoga Graphics Controller
also the error message i get from flight sim when i open it up is basically that i need to have a geForce3/Radeon8500 class or better graphics card...also it says, invalid hardware or driver..

your graphics card sounds like an onboard card. you will have to make the purchase of a new graphics card. nvidia is the only one i would go with. go with something that has at least 256MB on the card.

you will need to purchase a graphics card. Your onboard graphics wont do anything for today's games. If you're talking about Flight Simulator X: Acceleration, then its requirements clearly state "32 MB DirectX 9 compatible video card required" you can probably find one pretty cheap though. 32MB and DirectX 9 aren't that hard to find.

yes. that is no where near a good enough gpu to play fsx. that card is for basic computer use, not for gaming. By the name of the card, im guessing this is a laptop, which you cannot upgrade the graphics card on anyways. you will need to get a new computer with a dedicated graphics card in order to play fsx.

Common problem, and sorry to say you are out of luck. Only way to get the game to work is to upgrade your video card. It won't be cheap or easy but it can be done. You will need one of the new high end video cards to get it to work.

if am right in thinking that card is only 64MB (on-board) & am gessing its a laptop ?? as you mentiond "mobile" if thats the case, get a desktop or a playstation or somthing.....no laptop will play games, its simply not made for that, and as for upgradeing the drivers that wount make any differance. as sorry to say. ~)

upgrade your hardware. i think that is the only solution for that error. new games usually requires higher requirements for our hardware.
