I just downloaded the demo for this new game and when i double click on the shortcut to get into the game it says this: Invalid Hardware or Driver Detected:The drivers currently installed for your video card may cuase your computer to stop responding when Flight Simulator is running. RADEON 8500 Series .0 Click yes to search for newer drivers, or No to continue. So i press no and it says this: Flight Simulator is not working with your video card. Verify that you have the latest drivers installed for your video card. Flight Simulator will now exit. I think all this is kinda funny (wierd funny) because here are the requirement for Flight Simulator X:
---Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista
---Processor: 1.0 Ghz
---RAM: Windows XP SP2 - 256MB, Windows Vista – 512MB
---Hard Drive: 14GB
---Video Card: 32MB DirectX 9 compatible
---Other: DX9 hardware compatibility and audio board with speakers and/or headphones
Online/Multiplayer Requirements: 56.6 kbps or better for online play
Here is what I have: ---Windows XP Home Edition SP2
--- Processor: 1.66 Ghz
---RAM: 512 MB
---Hard Drive: (the demo is only 638 MB) Have a couple gigs though
---Video Card: 64 MB DirectX 9.0c RADEON 8500
--- every thing else is fine
so wtf is wrong with this thing???
