I'm trying to run Dawn of war Dark Crusade (and indeed any of the original DoW games) on my computer. The game installs fine but when I try and start it a text box pops up saying "Your video card is not supported. To run Dawn of War you must have a Hardware Transform and Lighting enabled video card."

I'm currently running an Nvidia GTS 450 and it was running DoW perfectly well as little as four months ago. Any help or suggestions (aside from "get a better GPU," I'm already planning that) much appreciated.

Full uninstall of the driver and download the latest stable release?

Gave that a try and still gives me that message. It's still only a minor annoyance because a) it's only this game and b) I can still play it on the XP boot I have. Which uses the same GPU but has no problems at all. Humbug.

Same exact problem, with solution.

First result from Googling the error message.

But asking you lot allows you to feel smug about it, and who am I to deny you that?

That fix worked perfectly though, so thanks.

Smug? Me? Never!

You're welcome, though. Glad to be of help.
