Error while initializing QW

I just downloaded the Enemy Territory Quake Wars ™ Beta 2 off www.fileplanet.com before buying the game itself, and when I tried loading it, I got this error message:

ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features:

You need to tell us which video card and driver you are using…

Rudi · 2007-10-21 16:31:24 UTC

Try the demo over the beta too. That’s a bit weird…

The video card is ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 BTW, it does say it:

kamikazee · 2007-10-21 17:56:22 UTC

If you have a recent videocard, you might also want to try updating your video drivers…

Krypt · 2007-10-21 19:20:21 UTC

Those are logical answers I already thought about but the problem is I’m on a DELL Inspiron 6400 notebook. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only drivers I can download and install are the ones provided to me by Dell. I already tried downloading the drivers for my v-card from the ati site directly, but I couldn’t. Oh and by the way, the ones on the dell site havn’t changed since 2006.

I tried to install etqw on my computer but when i tried to play the game i got the Send error report box is that another related not good enough computer proplem or is the disc corrupted?
Edit: Or proplem instaling corruption :?:

SCDS_reyalP · 2007-10-21 21:34:51 UTC

It means the game crashed for whatever reason. If you send the error report, it will eventually make it’s way to SD.

Could someone give me an answer here, I am kind of lazy to repost the message.

Snoofer · 2007-10-22 03:03:03 UTC

is the driver restriction located in the drivers or in the operating system?

have you tried alternative drivers like Omegadrivers?

Nail · 2007-10-22 05:13:23 UTC

first, get the demo not beta 2,
second I know no reason you can’t use ATI drivers, they have them listed.
just remember to uninstall old drivers first, you may have to use driver cleaner to make sure

Krypt · 2007-10-22 14:54:21 UTC

I’m not sure where it is blocked. As for the ATI drivers, I really cannot. I have already uninstalled previous ones with Driver Cleaner and all. Nothing changed.

Rudi · 2007-10-22 16:32:51 UTC

Have you tried the demo, like we’ve all told you…?
