New and need help for ATI 8500

[Eman777]

Hi, I've downloaded 3d Analyzer a few hours ago and I'm doing something wrong.

I'm trying to play Oblivion on my old machine which has a Ati Radeon 8500 in it.  

Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm randomly trying settings but I really don't know what they mean. I'm just getting a white screen when I start the game which is probably an indication that my card doesn't use pixel shaders.

Any help is appreciated.

You will not get far in this case with 3D-Analyze.
But there is a solution :
Do a google search for oldblivion, this is a mod for oblivion that makes the game work on older cards.
Has some issues, but is better than nothing.

Hi Eman777, welcome here.

Let us know if you solved by Rolo01's suggestion.

Bye bye

Thanks for the replies.  Actually, I had tried oldblivion before trying 3d-Analyze.  It didn't do anything for me but maybe I should try spending more time with it.

I wasn't sure I could hope for much with my card.

Thanks for any comments.
