I think you need to get with the times in terms of Graphics Cards.

The Smartshader is a hardware dependant API for game creators so can't be updraded as such.

Try downloading the latest drivers which may contain some additions to the API to get your game running.

Note you card is no longer 'supported' as such by AMD.

As you will see from the table, the relative levels of Pixel Shader can be seen to be a linear progression: the older the GPU the lower the PS number.

In order to increase the PS number, you need to increase the GPU generation, in other words - buy into the next generation of graphics card from either of ATI/AMD or Nvidia.

Currently, high-end graphics require Pixel Shader 4+ capability. The 9200 supported Pixel Shader 1.4.

You very much need to upgrade your graphics card if you want to play modern games.
