safe mode

my flight sim says its in safe mode but my pc isnt and comes up with hardware accelartion needed do u know how i can gix it plz

Fs in safe mode means that something on your graphics side is not right

1st can your graphics card handle the sim?
2nd make sure your drivers are upto date
3rd you have the latest DirectX installed

Come back with your system specs if none of the above work

my spec for my laptop is

pentuim 4 2.6 ghz
40gb hard disk
512 ram
intel(r) 82852/82855 gm/gme graphics controller

thanks

TTT, It looks as if his card is only 32mb.

It looks like the only way for you to go is to spend ££$$
If your card is only 32mbs

Just check in the control panel under disply and see if you can use any advanced features to accelerate the chip

Have you tried the drivers on the link gave?

Hope it helps

To get a new card inside a laptop would cost a fortune for they are not designed for being easily repaired/upgraded (with the exception of memory). I have never heard of an external one, it could possibly exist through the PCMCIA port, but technically I doubt that it would perform with the extra distance between the processor(s) on that card and the mother card.

Desktop are flexible, that's the reason why they stay in a business in spite of the encumbrance.
