dotNET error on Client?

Hi sub,

Install went OK, this is a PC I had it working on, uninstalled it, cleaned registry, tried installing again, same error (when running PVRX2, config was OK)?? Client log attached.

It looks like something to do with Direct3D not being available on the client machine.

Thanks sub.

The client is a Notebook (Compaq Presario 2100) with an ATI Radeon IGP 320M Video chipset. A bit of trawl over the last few days seems to show it can't do Direct3D, although some modded drivers (and I have yet to establish WHICH) might be able to do this.

TBH I am too scared to try, it is my wife's computer and a previous failed BIOS update on that machine led to some soldering of a new BIOS being required .... and a general ban on anything serious on it ...however if someone said, "I know EXACTLY which driver you need" and I could install it, I might be game, but driverheaven has an infinitely long thread on this chipset that I can't follow at all...
