Shader 2.0 driver

I just load a new game for my son & get a message ' could not init 3D System. Shader 2.0 is required. Please install the latest video drivers the PC is XP. What should I do? !

Your video card may or may not be suitable for the game (you should read the requirements of minimum hardware requirements of the game).

If your computer is a computer 'brand', especially your laptop, go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the current driver for your video card.  You will need identify the model of your computer.  Some brands use a tag 'service' (Dell) or similar to make it easier to determine what hardware is installed.

If you have a custom computer or the manufacturer of your computer is no longer available, identify the brand and model of your videocard (see below) and then go to the website of the manufacturer of the video card to obtain the current driver.

Make sure that download you the driver for Windows XP (not for the other version of Windows or another operating system).

The driver installation instructions must be on the web page where you will find the driver (or in a "Read me" accompanying file).

To determine the brand and model of your video card, open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
Click on the + next to "Graphics cards" and your video card must be identified.  For more details, double-click the entry for your video card.

  • Tecra A9 PTS52E - can I use pixel & vertex shader?

    Hello!
    Problem: A malfunction on pixel & vertex shader
    Technical data:
    Model: Toshiba Tecra A9 PTS52E
    OS: Vista Business 32-bit
    RAM: 4 GB
    Chipset: 965 PM
    Graphics: (probably: X 3100)

    Details: Install some games (not new) it pops up the window that my graphics card is not shader pixels. I think - WTF - X 3100 and I965 Chipset families graphics cards have pixel shader - download graphics driver is useless-> graph avaible only version of the map is only on the Toshiba.com: 7.14.10.1244 - and this version too, I installed on my computer. Intel (WTF) does not support my chipset (965 PM)

    Question: Is there way/solution to update my graphics driver and be happy with pixelshadering & vertexshadering my games?

    Hello

    Theoretically the Intel X 3100 graphics card supports Pixel - and Vertexshader 4.0 because it s DirectX 10 graphics card.

    In your case, I would try the new driver to display on the Intel site. Download the latest version and install it but first remove the old driver.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what you are trying to play the games. Don t forget that Intel adapters are not the best for games and perhaps the games doesn t support this card.

  • Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

    Hello

    Intel has recently, a new display driver, which I think is useful to me because it won't let me play games that require:
    Pixel Shader PS1.1
    Vertex Shader VS 1.0
    "Act of war" and others.

    The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
    It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

    The problem is that when I try to install, I have an error that says: "not for this system, ask your provider manufacturer.

    How can I install or where I could find the solution?

    Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

    Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
    Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

    If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

    By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

    This is how I can get the AERO factory upwards and that the card is 128 MB running and should be able to run this.

    Hello

    First of all I would like to say a few words on the Aero feature.
    Microsoft recommends the following minimum hardware requirements for running Windows Vista Aero:
    1 GHz 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor
    1 GB (1 GB) of memory
    graphics processor with at least 128 MB graphics memory, which takes supported DirectX 9, with a driver Windows Display Driver Model, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware and 32-bit per pixel

    I have no experience with Nvidia Vista drivers but with drivers for Windows XP, and in general it s is not possible to install and use the original graphics drivers on the graphics card manufacturing site.
    I think that you will need to install the drivers of Toshiba. If you have not found anything at this time that I guess you have to wait. ;(

  • Satellite P10 and the graphics card driver updates

    Hello

    I'm a newbie on this forum, but let's get to the point. I have Toshiba Satellite PSP10E (PIV 2.8HT 800 Mhz, 1 GB of system memory bus speed and UNFORTUNATELY a GF 5600go...).
    My (not only) problem is that Toshiba use engineering video BIOS version and it does not have the latest drivers for the geforce series. The most up-to-date driver that really works is the last of the series 5xxx... so you can see that none of the newer games can be run with a performance on this map... because older drivers don't use really not (available at directx9.0) 2.0 pixel shader. It would not be a problem if Toshiba would give an update not only BIOS system, but also the bios video (new system BIOS contains the same old video bios.

    I really had to settle for playing games that are 2 years old? First of all pay a lot of money for a witch of the computer has enough power to run some new but don't care support Toshiba for this...

    I was the proud owner of a Toshiba laptop, but I'm not! If I had to choose again, I decide to buy computer Toshiba...
    My Question: is that Toshiba will do something with this problem? Someone knows how to help? Thanks for any help (I have not found such a problem in this forum, sorry if it has been the front sign) and sorry for my English (hope that's understandable)
    My video Bios is: v4.31.20.56.A6

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    We know that you can not install the drivers downloaded from the download page of GF because of the restriction of material. It's not only the Toshiba models, but also on other producers of portable and if you visit the download page of graphics cards, it is always recommended to download drivers designed by the manufacturers of portable.

    I think that nobody can explain why it's because I'm sure you know the reason. The performance of the graphics card will always be a topic of discussion and you will always want to have maximum performance for games with laptop, although performance may not be the same as on the desktop where you have the possibility to change the graphics card and install the latest drivers.

    Because of this, I think that it is really unnecessary to some turbulence here. Believe me, you can buy what you want, but after two or three years you will be always satisfied with something.

    In any case, good luck and enjoy life!

    (2) ON THE VIDEO CARD:

    Also, I used an Amilo Xi 2550-8009 underpinning last week, I changed it to this Toshiba, but I am facing a problem with a game ARMA II.
    I got the error message is: 'Pixel shader compilation error', with a black screen and sound of 'ping '.
    I don't understand because I found a comparison test with a GeForce and my current HD5650 which is supposed to support this kind of thing shader.

    Have you managed to run ARMA II on your laptop? If so, what did I miss?

    Thanks in advance for your comments have fully appreciated,
    G2MARS

    Hey,.

    Generally these driver updates are not important if everything works properly. So in your case I don't install these updates if your laptop runs without problem.
    As you probably know: never touch a running system ;)

    Regarding your second question:
    Have you checked if ARMA 2 supports this graphics card? Have you installed the latest DirectX and more recent patch for this game?

  • Satellite L300 - no vertex shader and material & t on XP

    Hello

    I have my Satellite L300 - 11G 1 year and now I keep getting screens well blue of death (BSOD). I thought that his problem of RAM, and I used the memory diagnostic tools and no problem with the RAM.

    I try to install another driver for Intel GM965 chipset, it gives me error saying "this material is not meet your system requirements" or something like that so I went to the website that is provided by intel [files\systemrequirementslab | http://systemrequirementslab.com], you can test the games that you can run on your computer, and there I was shocked! When I saw

    Required that you have
    Hardware T&L Yes No
    Vertex Shader version 3.0 0.0

    who's who? I thought that my graphics card does not support Vertex shader. I opened WINDOWS 7 with the same computer... Shocked again!
    Required that you have
    Hardware T&L Yes Yes
    Vertex Shader version 3.0 4.0

    Windows 7 my pixel shader and vertex shader = 4.0, Hardawre T & L = Yes
    Under windows XP my pixel shader = 3.0, shader vertex = 0.0 and hardware T & L = NO
    I NEED solution here is my description of the computer: -.

    RAM DDR2 2 GB
    VGA card mobile express chipset intel GM965 256 up to 358
    Bicoeur T2370 1.73 GHz processor

    How do on XP as if was on Win 7

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all, you can t have Pixel and Vertex shader 4.0 on XP! Windows XP supports only to competition only on DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 .0c or more possible to use shader 4.0 s and therefore you need Vista or Windows 7!
    So I think everything is ok and don t forget you don t have a high-end gaming laptop. That's why you should buy a new one, a Qosmio series for example.

    > I try to install another driver for Intel GM965 chipset, it gives me error saying "this material is not meet your system requirements.
    I had the same problem and the solution was simple: just install manual chipset driver through the Device Manager where you can choose the driver directory (Advanced installation).
    Check it!

  • Equium L20-198: need a updated ATi display driver

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Equium L20 and being graphics, I notices that there is a serious problem with the features of opengl/directx in terms of vertex shaders.

    I create my own 3d applications and I found that shader/pixel pixel programs compile and run quickly on the hardware, but when you compile the vertex shader, they run only on the software that revolves around about 7 fps...

    I can't update the driver on the net, at ATi or here at Toshiba... will you be updated video drivers soon? as it is a big problem for me and maybe a big problem for all those people out there whose games, applications dependent on vertex programs...

    Thank you

    Kevin

    Hey Kevin,

    I can't help with the complexities of the development of graphics, but you can find drivers for ATI's Omega of some use.

  • Cannot install on Satellite A200 Intel graphic driver

    Hello

    I bought this laptop yesterday and choose this laptop for her good performance.
    I tried to play some of my favor, but the graphics card Intel cannot use shader. I searched the Internet and found a driver for the Intel 965 graphics card and tried to install the driver, but the laptop does not give me access.

    I called the hotline and they told me, they can do anything. I can't install drivers for Intel, I take a driver of Toshiba, but you do not have a driver for the 965 chip shader problem!

    I hope that you guys will come out a driver for the shader issue ob Intel!

  • A30 w/ATI Mobility Radeon graphics adapter use Shader Model 2?

    I have Windows XP sp3 on my A30. Try to install something for my son, but he says that it is unable to run because it requires a graphics card that supports Shader Model 2.

    Are there new drivers that would work?... is .or impossible for me to hope for this configuration supports Shader Model 2?

    Thank you!!!

    Welcome to the forum!

    ATi Radeon 7000, which has been used in the units of the A30 is * very * long in the tooth by today's standards and there is not much that can be done on its performance or lack thereof.

    The 'latest' driver's eight, according to IBM/Lenovo:

    These machines are still OK for light use of navigation and office, the GPU is still their biggest bottleneck.

    Hello Ann42633,

    If you have not changed the video card that you purchased your computer, you can visit the Dell Web site and use the service tag to determine the video card.

    In addition, you can locate the type of video card you have by the following text:

    -Click Start

    -Type Device Manager into the start menu search box, press enter

    -Develop graphics cards

    You must also obtain the appropriate driver from the Dell Web site and update your video card.

    Hope this helps

  • HP Probook 4530 s LH315EA graphics card driver

    Hi, today I tried to update my drivers for graphics cards. I downloaded from your Web site, installed and checked the version in the Device Manager. Instead of ATI 6490 M, there are ATI 7470 M.

    So I checked if ATI had renamed, they did not. Infact 7470 M is less than 20% 6490M.

    I can't install ex driver, because he won't find the compatible HW. If I try to download the driver from the site Web of AMD by their SW it suggest me to download the driver 6xxxM ATI, but if I am committed to what he said there is no compatible HW.

    Even the installation of driver through Device Manager installs driver 7470M.

    So what am I supposed to do if 7470M core/shader/memory speed 800/800/900 and 512 MB of memory and 6490 M has 800/800/800 and 1 GB of memory?

    Or is that a goal?

    Windows Home Premium 64 bit

    Core i3 Sandy Bridge

    8 GB RAM

    640 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive
