I HAVE BORROWED INSTALLED SETUP OF PROJECT IGI, BUT I HAVE NO GRAPHICS CARD , AND I USE WIN VISTA ULTIMATE. THE FOLLOWING ERROR MESSAGE COMES UP: FATAL ERROR: NO D3D WITH HARDWARE ACCELERATION FOUND.

hyjacker Faisal, why not talk to the GAME maker IGI

they will tell you that there game will not run on old PCs.

or the reverse, depending on what version IGI runs.
your game is 15 year old for Windows XP.
NO PC stated , NO OS stated, no answers possible but that.

NO GAME stated, just maker.
min.sys. win98 to XP
PC System Analysis For Project IGI 2 Requirements Project IGI 2 will require Radeon 7000 64mb graphics card with a Pentium 4 1.4GHz or Athlon XP 1700+ processor to reach the recommended specs, achieving high graphics setting on 1080p. Don't try and play Project IGI 2 without 128 MB, which helps get the 30FPS You will require a DirectX 9 GPU. In short you need a 18 year old PC for best Project IGI 2 performance.


see how all others fail here running 18 year old software
on modern PC, fails hard

join Steam or Epic and run games there, join the modern world.

need to reinstall graphics drivers and the game and possibly your OS

i don'T have a good english either. but you can look for your current dx version by typing dxdiag in run command and clicking run. update if necessary.

i think this may help u.
go to the properties of igi.exe, change its compatibility mode to windows xp sp2.
let me knw its solved out or not......

Uninstall the game. Download it from utorrent link and reinstall it. Check the reviews before downloading and update ur windows 7 also.

well first you have to go n see the read me file.. if your Video graphic card meets a minimum requirement then and then you can play game.. and if you have compatible card but still cant play then you need to upgrade driver .,. and you can also buy new graphic card from Shop..

1. PC games are better supported by Windows XP than Vista.
2. IGI is a large game and and may sometimes play very slow on vista.
3. This is because the game eats up a large amount of your RAM during gaming which slows down background windows processes.

4.However, the better way to play IGI on Vista is to install a NVIDIA Graphics Card - GeForce 8600GT - 256 MB / 512 MB on your computer.

Happy gaming! :)

this is because u have disabled d3d acceleration .to enable it

1.select run from start menu

2.type dxdiag and click ok

3.then dxdiag dialogue box will appear.from it select the display tab at the top and click enable d3d option.
