Chicken Little PC Game - System Requirements Problem

[clactongirl2002]

I have Chicken Little on the PC i have just tried to install it but it is saying my video acceleration is t+l and it requires vshdr. I then go on for more help and it is saying about Direct X which is all up to date. Is it just my computer isn't compatible or is there an update I need? My PC is HP Pavilion 734.

You computer (If it's the one in your Computer Details) is fast enough. The video card may be the problem. That computer appears to have on board video, 4X. Some of the newer games require more video card power. You could go to HP's site and see if there are updated drivers for your computer and that may help.

Right if its onboard you are lucky to have hardware T&L actually. I'd suggest a minor video card upgrade. Nothing over the top unless you play a whole lot of 3d games.

edit: I think this is your systemboard info. Just a guess though.

Check the ports on the back to make sure. Should be able to upgrade your video for pretty cheap if so.

I would start by upgrading your video drivers to the latest nvidia drivers first. My brothers PC would not play Half Life 2 until the drivers were brought more up to date.

I think this is your Computer -

It's an Intel 845G MB, which has integrated grafix. You can try updating the nVidia grafix driver from here -

But they are pretty old - 2004.
If that doesn't work, then as others have said, you'll have to get a cheap AGP grafix card and fit it into your computer.
