error - pixel shader

Question

Can anyone help?  When i press F5 to debug and run my game an error message appears saying "Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater."

What is making this happen and how can i fix this?

Also, here is some information if it helps:

                 Chip type:  Radeon 7000  AGP (0x5159)
                 DAC type:   Internal DAC (350MHz)
Approx. total memory: 64.0mb

Hi,

  if you look at the specs for your card: http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon7000/radeon7000/index.html it says that it only supports upto DirectX 8.0  you will need to use a newer card.

thanks for the link mark, though according to my specifications my current directx version is directx 9.0c so.... what does this mean?

Hi,

  I would double check your specs, if you can run Directx 9.0c then looks like you also need to have shader1.1 ability,  you would probably get better answers in the XNA forum if that is what you are using to develop your game.
