Fatal Error-Unable to locate a compatible graphics adapter

10-10-2007, 05:12 PM

I am getting this message:

The following error(s) occurred:
Unable to locate a compatible graphics adapter. Make sure you are running the latest version of DirectX.
Error in the application.

I am on a Mac Pro running Windows XP Professional in Parallels.
My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

I have the latest drivers installed, latest DirectX.

Is it my graphics card? I see NVIDIA GeForce 7300 on the list, but not the GT.

Probably caused by Parallels not fully supporting DirectX

I did some checking and you're right. Oh well. Too bad. I needed this for work.

Thanks for the reply.

May be parallels has better support for OpenGL, someone needs to test WWJ on it.
