I tried installing FG on a couple of different macnines to no avail. So going back to the machine I want to install this on here is the DXDiag output as attachment.

Any ideas?

When you say you have tried installing FGII, can you be a bit more specific so we can help pinpoint the problem?

Does the install itself fail? Or does FGII simply fail to start once installed? Do you get any errors?

Are all the systems you tried virtual machines? Are VMtools installed?

I had issues getting FG to run in a virtual environment under Win XP. I had to make sure that the virtual graphics adapter supported 3D, otherwise FG would not run.

From your log I can see that Direct 3D is not available on the graphics adapter: "D3D Status: Not Available", so this could well be the issue.

My problems were in Oracle VirtualBox, so I'm afraid I can't give you any steps specific to fix this problem. Try Googling this to get some ideas: vmware windows xp direct 3d support
