I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator for my son on his Win XP Prof. PC and
when you double click the dektop icon to start the program I get a message
saying: Flight Simulator is not working with your video card (his is
integrated). Verify that you have the latest drivers installed for your video
card. I used drivers detective and it said I have the latest drivers; but I
still downloaded them and I still get the same message and the program will
not advance from there.(Via/53G Unichrome IGP). Any advice on resolving this
problem will be appreciated. thanks

Any luck Maxstart ? I've been having the same problem, albeit with the trial
version. Computer meets all the min specs.

Apart from installing another supported video card I don't think the
program will run with this integrated chipset satisfactorily, if at
all... Is it listed as incompatible in the simulator release notes?

Read me file only says that with S3G unichrome cards special effects may not
display properly. According to dxdiag I'm running latest driver version and
Directx 9.0c with 64MB memory which meets the min specs listed on the system
requirements.

I hope you gave them h*ll. Product spec clearly states 64MB. I'd return the
thing
