For a game called second life (a version of it called greenlife emerald viewer) it says my video card isn't good enough to play, but when i used it on my old vista (im using windows 7 right now) it works fine.

Error: "Second life is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are not up to date, or are for unsupported hardware. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers and even if you do, try reinstalling them.

if you continue to get this message, contact customer service."

sorry, there wasn't any error code, thank you!

    You use a on board graphics chip without own memory. Is uses some memory of your system RAM. Does the game work on Vista? I think your card is too slow.

    Expand the Display entry and look at GPU

    Which graphics card do you use? Have you installed the latest driver?

    Open the device manager (type devmgmt.msc into the start menu search and run it). Now look under graphic card adapter which card you use.
