G4.5 Video Accelerator Requirement

[chuck l]

I just bought G4.0 last week because I was told my video accelerator won’t work with G4.5 yet. Can someone confirm this and let me know when it might be fixed? G4.0 works quite well on my computer.

Dell Inspiron 1520, Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, 2.2GHz, 800Mhz, 4M L2 Cache
2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100

Somebody just asked yesterday about that same video card. No, it will not work with G4.5. KE stated that they are working on a fix, but they will never put a date on an update.

Turns out, I found by SEARCHING, that it was you who asked the same question yesterday. Try starting another thread, and asking again. Do that until someone gives you an answer you like. :confused: :mad:

Sorry, I thought I had submitted the thread previously, but couldn't find it yesterday. I kind of thought it got deleted by admin. Thus the new thread.

Thanks for the confirmation of the issue.

I have Lenovo X61 with all same as you except CPU, mine is Intel Core 2 Duo T7300(2GHz).
I purchased G4.5 and it works same as G4.0 DEMO. About 40 FPS heli, and 60 FPS airplane. Sure, all graphic options are on minimum and 1680x1050 screen resolution. I had a blue screen crash(WinXPSP3), but same crash I had on older desktop system(P4 2.6 GHz, RAM-2 GB DDR, and ATI X1650 PRO 512MB DDR2 )
