Hello there, I got Microsoft flight and tried to play it and get an error message saying ''microsoft flight cannot run because the shader version on your video card does not meet the minimum requirements. Please review the system requirements on Microsoft flight website.''
I have Shader 5.0! Can anybody help me? I'm desperate to fly but this stupid thing wont run. my system requirements are above the minimum required.

Make sure your video card drivers are up to date, and reboot after installing the game. What video card do you have?

I have a ATI Radeon HD 5450, my drivers are up to date

I think your video card is really on the low end of the scale for playing games on. Even though 5450 is a numerically higher number then the mimimum spec of 4400, it does not perform that way.

Reading this review, http://www.techspot.com/review/244-ati-radeon-hd-5450/ the 5450 is really at the bottom of the list in performance. Its possible that it may not be enough to run Flight.
