Hi all, my brother was trying to play Spiderman the movie. When he opened the game it said "Must have TNL capable 3d card", so I tried it on my computer (I had a Radeon 7000), and it worked fine. Now I got a new 3d card, so I gave him mine, he tried to play the game but it still gave him the same message. I would like to know what is a "TNL capable 3d card", or what is TNL. And how I could fix this problem.
Tnx a lot all see ya

Hi Chrissy.


Besides reinstalling the video drivers, you may have to uninstall and then reinstall Spiderman so the game can "pick up" what kind of card the computer has.


Take care,

Linda

Thought as much, double checked, and I was right. Read the little write up and it explains what TNL is, which is what I thought is was anyway.

Short answer. Unless your computer has transform and lighting capable card, you will not be able to play this game. Radeon 7000 pro is capabale. Your mates card probably isn't.
