I just bought the accelerator pack for Flight Simulator X. I installed it and now it won't run because it's saying something about shader problems? I have no clue. I am running A Dell Inspion 530S with the basics and Windows Vista Basic. Could someone direct me to a fix for this? Flight Simulator alone runs fine. Looks like Microsoft would make it more compatible, Thanks in advance.

TimWhat Operating System is this?

Have you ever been able to play it?

What is the exact error message?The O/S is Windows Vista Basic on a 2.9 GHz Dell Inspiron 530S. 2GB of RAM. This the the trouble: It plays MS Simulator X just fine, but as soon as I install the accelerator pack it says my graphics cards needs to be a Raytheon capable of rendering MORE shading? To that, I have no clue, I adjusted my graphics properties over and over with infinite combinations. Why would the MAIN program run fine with the graphics the way they are, and THEN the accelerator pack won't run at all. I keep getting "Windows Critical or Fatal Error" Messages and it just boots my *censored* out.

Does this help any? And yes, I was able to play FS X before the accelerator pack was installed. Now that I've unsintalled it, MS FS X runs just fine, just like before.....What video chip/card do you have ? ?In control panel, it just says Intel Media Graphics Accelerator Driver. I assumed it was the latest version since Dell doesn't put out pieces of crap. So I would say it's an Intel Driver I can achieve 1280 X 760 DPI with all the bells and whistles....An onboard vid chip probably does not meet the REQUIREMENTS of the accellerator pack...
Sorry.Okay that makes sense. I'll just head to Best Buy or Circuit city and get the latest state of the art graphics card and/or replace the onboard video chip.. Thanks again. You have been most helpful!!
