Grr. I keep getting an error report!
« on: November 14, 2006, 05:37:33 PM »
Alright, I switched computers and had to reinstal ZT2 all over again.
So, I installed it and DirectX 9.0 and just when it starts to come on, the screen goes blank and this error report comes: :throw:

Please contact your graphics adaptor vender for an updated driver. Zoo Tycoon 2 was unable to create a graphics renderer.

Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem? Thank youse!

(BTW, how cute! ---> :indian: :cards:

You need to look up your graphic card maker on the internet, and see if they have an updated driver available on their site.

Okay, I'm going to tell you a quick way to check for driver updates. As long as you have XP and are connected to the internet (can't tell you how to do it with other systems unfortunately) Right click on "My Computer" on your desktop (or in your start menu). Then go to "Properties". Next You'll want to click the Harware tab at the top (it shoud be between "computer name" and "Advanced". Now that you haev selected the Hardware tab, select the "Device Manager" button. This will bring up a list of all of the hardware that your computer has. Go to "Display Adapters" and click the little plus sign. It should bring down a one or two things. Mine, for instance, has "Radeon 9550" and "Radeon 9550 Secondary". Right click on the first one and hit "Update driver". XP will automatically go into the web and search for a driver update. If it doesn't come up with anything type  in google the name of the card (in my case, I would type "Radeon 9550 drivers"). Hopefully this works!
