Run FM2009 on limited graphics card

[esaly]

Hi!
I'm trying to run the game on my laptop and get some graphics card error message.
I have pretty limited graphics card but i want to play only on 2D mode...
Is it possible to bypass this message?


Thanks in advanve

Does the error come up as soon as you start FM? Or when you go to play a match and it the come up with an error due to the 3D? Because you can change 3D assuming you can start up the game.

Sean will prob know.

Disable the 3d in prefernces and see if that helps

The error comes up as soon as i start the game...
I can't change any settings on the game menu itself.

MY brother has the same problem, it say's something about not being compatable with the graphics card. His laptop is only a year or 2 old & would think it's a standard as other graphic cards?

Try this;

1. install the game and patch it!
2. upgrade your microsoft directX here;
3. upgrade microsoft net-framework here;
4. download the directX SDK here;

Your graphics card doesnt meet the minimum specs. But that should only apply when using the 3d engine. Have you tried downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card?
