    I recently installed a Matrox Millenium G550 graphics card so i could play the game, Vampire - The Masquerade - Bloodlines on my PC (running XP Professional). It seemed to install fine but when I try to run the game I get the error message, "Engine error - Unable to init shader system" and the game won't run. Any ideas?

    Hi, the G550 had good 2D performance but was never very strong with 3D, has only 32Mb of RAM and only partial support for DirectX 8.0 - this is not likely to be a very good card for gaming :(
    According to those requirements, the G550 will not run this game.
