Guess for your current video device and if that is to become your target system the A5 engine would have been better because it allowed software render which would be slow, but working. Installing the new A7 version unfortunately will not make everything better. The problem is your hardware.

I do not own a Savage chip and not know much about them other then what google presents, but maybe the drivers for your card are not installed and Windows is using the default without any hardware rendering. I had this once on a laptop with Vista beta and there was no driver for that ATI chip inside.

Well thank you my Angel have a blessed night. I think the blessing in this is that I really need to spend more time reading and learning more about this great program. If it had worked it would have been more difficult to focus on just studying, because I would want to begin playing and creating

God has been faithful to guide me toward what is best in the end. I thank God for you tonight. Be safe, be well.

Peace

PS I tried to post a tropphy to give to you, but hopefully you will feel the greatness of you reward in the kindness you shared.

I just read what you wrote about the drivers. Yes I am on a laptop as well. I have had problems with the driver on this computer--I bought it used. But perhaps I will call IBM and find out which driver I need for this machine and download a correct driver. Maybe this can work!!!

I'll study and finish the reading, and then I can post Friday or Saturday what happened. Thank you again D3D

Peace

Greetings guys,

Thank you again for your help. I tried to reload the video driver and called the manufacturer for further help. It seems that I need a new video card to be able to run 3dGS, mine is old. So through Gods grace and mercy I am going to get a new computer after I carefully read the specifications needed to run 3dGS.

Peace
