| 17569 | 2001-08-25 02:16:00 | I have installed Microsoft Steam Simulator but it will not run but comes up with an error message.It appears the cause is is due to the video driver being incompatible with Directx8 DDI Version.5. The game requires DDI Version 7 or higher. I cannot find how to obtain this version. Can anyone help please. |

On the box it states the requirements (not minimum requirements)are 4 MBs of video card memory. I have this and all other requirements. On contacting MS they tell me that it will not run on some video cards. notably Intel and ATI. even though they have 4 MBs of memory. I think that it is disgusting that MS can sell a programme that does not run on the requirements that they stipulate. Any one reading this take note that this programme, I would think, needs at least a minimum of 8 MBs video memory | Guest (0) | ||
