This was directed at the other guy... >_>

In terms of VRAM, you are absolutely fine. Your graphics are okay.

What I recommend you do, Jonesy, is disable all anti-virus programs you have running. Maybe your various firewalls are preventing the program from executing.

hi sorry 4 late rply following is my 3D card information
NAME: RADEON 9250
MANUFACTURE: ATI technologies Inc.
CHIP TYPE: RADEON 9250 AGP (0X5960)
DAC TYPE: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Approx. Total Memory: 256.0 MB
Current Display Mode: 1024 X 768 (32 bit) (85Hz)
Monitor: Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 87TXM (TFM8705

See, that's a discontinued model of graphic card by ATi, so the shader model in that card may be outdated. Therefore it won't support the visual graphics the game demands. For Video RAM, you're fine, but it's just the age of the card that's preventing ProStreet from working. I recommend you get a new card ASAP, if you want to play some of the newer games coming out soon.

Hey guys.

Thanx all alot but I figured it out!

I somehow had a dodgy file placed in my NFSProStreet folder wich stopped the game working for long..... but anyway thanx all alot!

Help is very much appreciated

Again, your video card model is outdated and discontinued by ATi. Therefore the shader model in your graphics unit has been rendered obsolete. Your GPU's shader model capabilities do not meet that which the game demands.

Solution? Get a new graphics card.

Prostreet won't play on my new pc,but plays on my old one. The new one has Vista and the old one has Windows XP. The new pc won't play any games newer than Most Wanted. It does fine with the older games,but won't play the new ones.

Do what the others have done and post your system statistics, so I can have a look.
