Shader System? But I have a new tower..

[drboboh]

So I just downloaded Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, and when I try to run it, I get this little window that says "Unable to init System Shader"....

I'm on a new tower with dual 2.8's, 512mb graphics card + 4GB ram and tons of HD space, what's the deal?

I did a search and someone else had the same problem with Half Life 2, but on their macbook, and people just told him that he had an insufficient graphics card.

I figured my setup would be perfect for it.. guess not?

Any help/advice/insight would be really appreciated, I just paid 20$ for it on direct2drive and I'ma be pissed if it just DOESN'T work.

Thanks

From what quick research I've done it's a nVidia driver issue.

Can I update the drive somehow, or switch settings?

Just update the drivers. I'm surprised you didn't run off to nVidia to get the latest drivers in the first place.

Downloading now. It's too early over here for me to use my brain, I appreciate the help man. Thanks.
