G4 launch error "error creating effectShadowreceiveWater"

[great_life2]

If you have just bought G4 and tried to install on a laptop, you are likely to encounter this error when you launch G4 "error creating effectShadowreceiveWater". This is due to the weak graphics handling ability of the laptop, particularly non-dedicated graphics adapter in your laptop. You need to call for tech support, they will supply you a code to download a fix to your problem. First you need to register the software before calling. Hope this helps. Another problem is that if you update to the new version from tech support, it will not import aircrafts properly. There are quite a few versions due to this problem.
