Please be more specific about where I go from the site. Thank you.

*edit*

Wait nevermind I found out where to go, but the graphics card is not listed in the list. I have an ATI Radeon X1200. There is only ATI Radeon X1300 and ATI Radeon X1050. Please help thank you.

it was listed under vista 64 bit --> integrated/motherboard --> rad x1200 series.

I updated my driver, but I still couldn't run Planeshift. Is something wrong?

Just wanted to say I was having this same problem just now, read this forum, updated my video drivers and now I can connect and everything.  Plus I like the software suite it came with :-).  Thanks for your help!
(If your curious) system specs:
Processor => AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.00 GHz
RAM => 1 GB
Video Card => ATI Radeon 9200 Series 128 Mb

y is mine not working?

You may not have the 64-bit version of vista which is the driver he linked you to.  You can have a 64-bit processor and still have 32-bit windows. If your display and everythign else is working good right now, you want to make sure you can fix anything if it doesn't work though (installing new drivers and stuff).  So create a system restore point.  I can't tell you how to do this in vista, but if you go to the help section (probably somewhere in your start menu) and search for system restore, it should have step by step instructions.  Make a restore point and if anythign happens you can go back through a similiar process and restore it back to this time to fix the problem.  That's just some general help. But I think your video card driver is here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
go there and then click on:

Windows Vista     
32-Bit Edition        =>     Integrated/Motherboard     =>     Radeon X1200

Install this driver and see if it works after that.

i'll try, but i think i see the problem. I accidently pressed Radeon Xpress 1200

*edit*

YES i can play, but the graphics looks weird. Is there something wrong or is my graphics card not enough?

...weird?

[fast21]

like, well i don't know how to explain it but like when i was creatig my char things were in different colors and moving when I was looking at my char. It's like in clay and weird colors fill up the character creation screen (not the whole screen itself). It's like this in the game too.

Can you take a screenshot and post a link to it?

Hosting via imageshack or some such....

[fast21]

how do I take a screen shot?

[Tuxide]

Alt+PrintScreen, just like taking a screenshot in any other program.  The image will go to your clipboard; then just fire up MS Paint and paste it into a new image.

If your world is already loaded, you can also use the "/screenshot" command in the communication window to create a copy your current screen onto a file.  For me the file is saved to C:\Users\(my username)\AppData\Roaming\PlaneShift\screenshots\ where AppData is a hidden folder.
