hamilton162 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Try installing the SDK File from the Microsoft website, updating your graphics drivers and your Direct X HTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Make sure that your computer specs match or exceed the min specs for the game and that your graphics card drivers and Java are fully up to date.

vrisk85 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Why on earth would he download & install SDK ? And SDK of what ? If your video card is supported by FM's minimum requirements, then you only need to update the drivers and quite possibly the Direct X, both easy to find.

hamilton162 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 SDK also solves this problem and, in many cases, allows the user to view in 3D. Not for me though, Dots to rule the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
