I have recently installed the expansion pack for FSX. Prior to the install I had no problem running the simulator. Since installing the expansion pack I get an error message that states "Graphics card does not meet minimum requirements for shader support. " The simulator will not even open now, it is useless. Unfortunately I have a laptop, so I cannot update the video card. Any ideas.

I would call Microsoft but they want $$$$$$$$

Any help is appreciated. Mad

Try cleaning out the old video drivers for that card, load the latest ones.

Excellent, useless advice. The fellow is asking for help, not sarcastic remarks!

I had that problem before, and i hated it. All i did was go to nvidia.com and download a driver for my card.
