I have been playing FSX forever. Recently, my computer froze. It wouldn't respond or even turn off! I had to unplug the power cord and wait for like an hour. Now that my computer is running, I decided to start FSX. Shortly after starting FSX, I get this message," This graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for shader support. This product requires a geForce3/Radeon8500 class or better graphics card." I have been playing FSX for years without any problem! How could I get a message like this?!Please help! -jayflies737

Sounds like your graphics card is in trouble. Try updating/reloading your graphics driver. If that doesn't work, it may be a hard ware problem. Could be your graphics card or even your power supply.

Nevermind! I got it fixed. Thanks!

Would be nice of you to tell what you fixed so other can benefit from it ?Alain from Montreal

Turn your computer off by holding in the power button until it shuts down - about 5-8 seconds. I'm not 1000% sure, but I believe this is built in to all mobos nowadays.
