Hello,
i am trying to play a game but before it loads it says it needs shader model 3 and to update the drivers. The ap top i am using is quite new please help.
Probably you don't have shader model 3 so you cannot play the game. You can get a graphics card with shader model 3 to play the game. Cheapest graphics card I know
GTX610 or ATI HD5450 for less than $40. The card I recommend HD7750 $80-$110.
