Installation problem - Shader Model

[Fry]

Guys,


Trying to install COH OF today, and my system gets 'great' for all the requirements. However, it gets a 'failed' under shader model.

I am on a laptop, I'm in the army and my desktop is at home. Here in the barracks, a laptop is easier to keep. The card, Intel 945GM apparently supports up to 2.0 shader which should be enough.

Anyone have any advice?

"Should be enough"? Does that mean that you THINK that it should be enough or that it SAYS somewhere that it should be enough? :)

Also do you have DirectX 10 card?

Welcome to the forum guys! Hope I'll see you around for long! ;)

i was going to say drivers but that wasn't going to be much help.
after a quick google, Intel 945GM is a laptop chipset so my conclusion is that you are using a laptop with integrated graphics?
that is a big no no due to performance reasons. it just wont cut it

DUDE i am having the same problem, and i have the newest drivers! SOME PLEASE HELP!!! :'(
what are your specs?

im running on a desktop
my graphics is Intel 945GM
Dual Core 2 2.00Ghz
memorey: 2gb

its one of the new Sony VAIO computers that has all the hardware in the back, no tower. thanks i can play WOrld in conflict on this computer, so i believe COH will work, i just need to get past the installer thing

*edit: i have the latest drivers and DirectX 10 is supported w/ the new drivers
