Thread: Display adapter not supported (need help with running arma 2 in bootcamp!)

    Display adapter not supported (need help with running arma 2 in bootcamp!)

    Like many others I have been getting the "display adapter does not support d24s8" etc etc. I've gone through every possible fix and nothing seems to be working. I'm running windows via bootcamp for my mac, I have downloaded all the proper drivers and what not yet DirectDraw Acceleration and Direct3D Acceleration are still unavailable to enable. I honestly have no clue what to do now, any help is appreciated!

    (Sorry if threads like this have been created before, I searched for 20 mins and couldn't find anything, if they have, please link me)

    So much text but still forgot to write the most important thing: what GPU do you have?

    If that makes sense...?

    dxdiag.txt please


    :EDITH:

    Your GPU doesn't fulfill the minimum required system specs anyway, as a sidenote.

    I'm not familier with nVidia GPU's but this looks odd to me:
    Driver Date/Size: 7/13/2009 19:25:51, 10752 bytes
    Hopefully someone with more experience with nVidia GPU's can shed some light into this.

    its cause probably standard VGA driver used, despite NVidia chip presence.
    so Nvidia FoceWare driver correct re-installation could help a bit.
