As long as the thing was manufactured you know recently and is in a good pc store and you ask the guy in the store "does the graphic cards meet x requirements" your probably safe. ]]> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:15:04 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2562-help-please-.aspx Message from LULU153

this is a cheap pc this is in canadian dollars and the british pound sterling is worth about 2.5 canadian dollars. so that costs about 300 pound sterling (I am not using a converter just dividing by 2.5 and rounding things off). I would not go much below those specs because your simply taking a match to your money and setting it on fire. This is not the greatest pc in the world and I would not purchase it because I get my own custom built but it will run muvizu and keep you happy for awhile unlike that pc which the person should be given a stern talking to about selling museum pieces as viable options for running todays software.

I can see that using a lovely free piece of software such as Muvizu is going to cost me a lorra dosh!

Unfortunately this means that your card is not compatible with muvizu you will need to upgrade it to meet the specs on the site. Many laptops have cards which can't run such things. Also to be honest it has to be a very powerful laptop or you will burn it out on such things but if you want to run muvizu your going to need to upgrade the card. (and possibly other things )

Shader model 3 graphics card (or equivalent APU)

Aah, ok thank you. So do you think I'd have more luck with a cheapish pc laptop then? (Not that I'm looking to throw money away!)]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:43:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic2562-help-please-.aspx Message from urbanlamb

I have downloaded the software but am unable to open it due to this message -
"Your video card does not support alpha blending with floating point render
targets (DSDFMT_A16B16G16RF16F) which is required to run this game.
Exiting.."


Can anyone advise what this means and how to overcome it?
