Vertex Shaders

[Stammetje91]

"Your graphics card does not support vertex shaders!"

I have:
- A NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with the latest international graphic driver (v93.71)
- 1024 MB RAM
- An Intel® Core™2 CPU - 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs)
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, build 2600)

The log says after trying to start the game:

Deleting ATI shader to 0

And well, it does not work... (The original Penumbra from before the commercial release worked on the very same PC) I don't understand.

I downloaded from NVIDIA.com at drivers section:
Graphics Driver - GeForce and TNT2 - Windows XP/2000

Does anyone know the problem or has the same problem? Please tell me if you need more info! All I want is to play this game (I loved the original Penumbra, didn't come far though).
