PIxel Shader 1.1

[pearl52]

When I try to run MTW2 it states that you must use pixel shader 1.1 or Higher..IS it that I definitely need a new graphics card on machine or is there an install out there to make this run..The machine is a fairly new DEll so I am suprised at this error??

Check what onboard (I'm assuming) GPU you have then just do a bit of research on the web. Seeing as you are running a Dell, there is a fair chance that your GPU won't be up to it. And then the fun starts... you opened up a tower before?
If so, you need to take a look inside and see what slots those pesky Dell guys have given you for expansion.

Pixel shader 1.1 support added in the nVidia Gefore 2 series I believe. I'm guessing you have onboard or no graphics card at all?

If you have a Dell you probably have integrated graphics, which, unfortunately, have no pixelshader 1.1. Incidentally, this is also the reason I don't have M2TW, and why I have half the parts for a new computer already shipped and the other half coming tomorrow.
