Deal or No Deal PC Game

[dlw19]

At this stage I have installed the game, I'm just about to open the folder to play the game but this stands in my way, What does it mean?

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.NoSuitable.GraphicsDeviceException: Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater.

The web site for the game is here:

It says (about the graphics requirement) as follows:

Extra Info: * NVidia� GeForce� FX or higher / ATI� Radeon� 9500 or higher. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Other integrated chipsets are not supported.

My guess is that the game requires a more powerful graphics card than you have.

Many low end PCs and laptops have what is called "integrated garphics" where the graphic capability is built into the motherboard (in other words the graphics capability is very basic).

My guess is that this is the case with your PC or laptop.

With as laptop there is nothing you can do about it (almost impossible to upgrade the graphics on a laptop), on a PC you can add a graphics card.
