Autodesk Showcase 2012- Help needed

Hi,

I have installed Autodesk showcase 2012 and when I try to open it up, I see an error saying " Autodesk Showcase 2012 SP1: window initialization failed. Your hardware configuration may not be supported". Please view the image below:

 

 

I have installed the service pack but still it showing the same error. Any suggestions and comments would be much appreciated,

 

Thanks.

Can you suggest me which graphic card should I have and if it is possible to upgrade a graphic card on a dell studio laptop?

you need to talk to dell about upgrading the laptop

you can use this to determine a graphics card: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/cert?siteID=123112&id=16391880
