FCE can't launch AGP Graphics Card?

I've been using FCE 4.x for years. The other day, I installed Soundtrack and all of a sudden my Final cut won't open or launch. I'm getting a "Configuration Error"
"This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing."
"AGP graphics card."
I have done nothing in regards to my OS or hardware. All I have done is install Soundtrack the other day.
Please help...

as a final note, this is what I had to do. I used the FCE remover application from a link in a previous post, then re-installed FCE version 4.0 from DVD disk. Then, I was getting errors about my existing FCE projects being newer than the application version. I realized that I had probably downloaded an update. So, I did Software update to version 4.01 (I think). It all works great now!
Thanks for your time and advice. I should have known that by installing Soundtrack which no longer comes with FCE 4, that it's an older application but I didn't think it would have anything to do with my version of FCE. Glad you pointed me right...

Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

AGP graphic card

I install FCE HD 3.0 on my Mac Book Pro and when I attempt to open the program I receive a message telling me I do not have an AGP Graphics Card. Should this card already be installed?

FCE 3.0 is NOT suitable for the new Intel Macs like your MBP.
You can UPGRADE to FCE 3.5 for $99.
FCE 3.5 is specially designed for your computer and has more improved features.
If you want to use your old FCE 3.0 you will find that it works slower than it should and there may be other problems.
If you use the "esc" key you will need to do it everytime you open FCE.
For a permanent solution you can hack FCE 3.0 like this:-
1. Right click on the FCE icon (in the Applications folder) and select "Show Package Contents".
2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

Error Msg. "Configuration Error AGP Graphics Card"

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 17". I migrated my software from my old computer, but when I tried to open Final Cut Express HD, I got an error message saying Configuration Error "AGP Graphics Card." I reinstalled my original disk but got the same error message. When I went to the support site, it indicated for that error message that I needed to download an update. I did that, but the install indicated that I was already updated and current. What can I do?

Try hitting the esc key whenever you get the message.
You are probably using FCE 3.0 which was not designed to run on Intel Macs.

Final Cut Express 2.0.3 and missing AGP graphic card

I had Final Cut Express 2.0.3 in my older G4 PPC Tower. But now that I've installed FCE 2.0.3 in my new iMac I get an error message telling me I need an AGP graphic card for the program to work.
What's the deal?
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Panther

Have a read of this thread (link).
FCE 2 is a PowerPC application so you won't get great performance through Rosetta. FCE 2 is looking for AGP graphics which were standard at the time but no longer present. You should look at upgrading (link) for best performance.

Final Cut Express HD & New I Mac CONFLICT - AGP graphics card error??

Not sure what to make of this. I would imagine this should be as seemless as all of the other transitions I have made with apple. I just bought a new I MAC running 10.5.2 and for some reason when I try to load Final Cut XPRESS HD 3.0, it loads just fine but when i try to launch, an error window pops up stating this software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. * AGP GRAPHICS CARD. And then proceeds to NOT launch the program.
Hmmm??? My graphics card is: ATI RADEON HD 2600 PRO. I had the first IMAC 20"(white body) and loaded the same program on that machine. It worked great.
Thanks for any help.

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be), I think FCE 3 isn't comaptible with IntelMacs. But you may want to ask in the FCE forum - this is the FCP forum.
The FCE forum is here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936

AGP Graphics cards and Final Cut Pro...?

Hello everyone,
I just received a new computer today. Dual G5...It comes with the PCI Graphics Card. My old computer was a G5 as well but had a AGP Graphics Card. I reinstalled FCP4 today and tried to use it, but it says that the AGP Graphics card is missing. Do I need a AGP Graphics Card to run FCP4? And if so, why wouldn't the new computers come with one? I mean it seems silly that you can go and get a brand new G5 and FCP4 and not have it work. Anyone?

Get error msg. "Configuration error" AGP Graphics Card

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 17". I migrated my software from my old computer, but when I tried to open Final Cut Express HD, I got an error message saying Configuration Error "AGP Graphics Card." When I went to the support site, it indicated that I needed to download an update. I did that, but the install indicated that I was already updated and current. What can I do?

You are in the Final Cut Pro forum and find more focused help over in the FCExpress forum.
That said, usually these messages arise when you are installing an older, non-intel version of the software on an intel machine.
You can not update it, you need to purchase the upgrade to the current Universal Binary (aka intel ready) version of the software for it to run properly.
Good luck,

Need a good AGP graphics card

I need to find a good AGP graphisc card to use with Motion 3 but AGP Graphics cards seem to be hard to find. I could use some suggestions.

eBay? I have an Apple nVidia 6800 Ultra that I keep meaning to put on eBay - email me if you want to know when I do...
Other than that, you can check OWC - http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/video/hardware/ - they've got the x800 in stock right now...

Can I Run This Graphic Card?

Hey guys! I'm planning on buying a final AGP graphic card before I move on to PCIe compatible computer(I'm saving up, at the moment :D). I have narrowed down my search to 2 graphic cards but am unsure if they will work on my computer and which one would give me a better bang for my buck. The two cards are

and
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2484235&Tab=2&NoMapp=0
My system specifications are as followed:
KT4AV-L Motherboard
512 x 2 Kingstom VALUE Ram
Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit sound card
AMD Athlon 2600 processor
52x Logitech CD Drive
80gig hardrive
All the parts are connected to a 350watt power supply. It's never given me problems since I got it so I think its a good one. I'm not sure how the numbers on the PSU work so if you guys need that information as well, please tell me which numbers you need .
Thank you for your help!

Current graphic card is a 6200 evga 256ram nvidia thingy.
I'm saving up alot of cash for my next computer because I'm trying to aim for a alienware. This means I'm going to be saving money for a while . I need to buy a graphic card to give into my gaming crave for about a year or so. As for as what type of game goes, I am hoping to play BF2142 with more then just 25 framerate T_T.
Also, I'm not sure if the motherboard can go into the 7xxx series... Basically my budget is $220 CDN. =)

AGP graphics card + final cut pro HD 4.5

i have final cut pro hd 4.5 and just got a mac book pro. and when installing everything work but when i went to open FCP an error message came up saying AGP graphics card missing?
does anybody know what that means? or why that message comes up? is there anything i can do to fix it?
thank you for any of your help!

Maxplanar and David already told you what you need to do to rectify the situation.
That said, I'll answer some of your questions if you're still curious...
does anybody know what that means? or why that message comes up? is there anything i can do to fix it?
Yes, it means your computer doesn't have an AGP graphics card. The Macbook Pro has a PCI Express graphics card. There are PCI graphics cards, AGP graphics cards, and PCI Express graphics cards. The power and speed of the cards has progressed with the connection method (which is the distinction between the 3 I listed).
PCI cards plug into PCI slots. AGP cards plug into AGP slots. PCI Express cards plug into PCI Express slots.
When FCPHD 4.5 came out, PCI Express didn't exist. Therefore, it's looking at the graphics card universe as: is this a PCI card? or an AGP card? It needed an AGP card to run, so that test fails and FCP says "You need an AGP card to run me".

Final Cut Express 2.0 Configuration Error--Missing AGP graphics card

Can't seem to get FCE2.0 working properly. Says I'm missing the AGP graphics card, but when I run the hardware diagnostics there is no problem with it. I thought FCE2.0 would work with the Intel processor.
Any ideas how to fix this?

FCE2 predates the MacBook Pros (Intel based systems) by quite a long time. Other users have had similar difficulties. If I recall correctly, you can just ignore the error message. But search the Forum, you will find out what other people have done.
I would suggest, however, that you upgrade to v 3.5 for your MacBook Pro. It's the UB version and runs much better on the Intel systems.

FCP HD is version 4.5 (PPC version). For IntelMacs, you'll need the Universal version; FCP 5.1. See http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade for more details on upgrading.
