Error Message When Opening G4

[chrisl]

I am having the problem stated in the post with G4. The error message appears, and I am unable to open the program.

The graphics info on my system is as follows:
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) Calistoga Graphics Controller
DAC type: Internal

This is a brand new Dell Inspiron E1505 Laptop.

Do you have any idea what I need to do to fix this?

Is it just that I need a new graphics driver?

3D programs such as G4 don't do very well with integrated chipsets, which is what you have on the laptop.

These typically do not provide all of the features of a full 3D card and use some hardware saving shortcuts that adversely affect performance to make 3D programs work in a limited way.

That said. KE has issued a patch that improves support for the very chipset you have in your laptop.

You will need to update G4 using the launcher.
