Intel 845G/GL/GE/GV graphics controllers do not have pixel shaders. If a game specifically requires pixel shader support to run, you will likely not be able to run them. The versions that support pixel shaders are 915G and up.

I've had the same problem, too. Pixel shaders are needed for the game I am trying to run in my computer.

I told you. Intel graphics based on 845 chipsets DO NOT HAVE PIXEL SHADERS. You can't enable something that doesn't physically exist. 915 and up chipsets have pixel shaders. If the game requires them, you can't run them, period.

You could always download 3d-analyzer fro the following website: http://www.tommti-systems.com

You have to tick this boxes Hardware Limits:emulate hw tnl caps
emulate other dx8.1 caps(optional)
emulate pixel shader caps
emulate bump map caps(optional)
Performance:Force software tnl( Fps problems in the game)

Hope this is really helpful to you all!
