It seems that your default graphic card doesn't support that program..

And if you wanna know my opinion, I think that running Final Cut on a Mac with 1 Gig of ram, and less than a 2.0 GHz processor, ISN'T a good idea.

Plus, you also have the graphic card issue...

In other words: your computer doesn't supports a application like Final Cut...
sorry

EDIT:
I'M NOT AN EXPERT, WHAT I JUST SAID COULD BE WRONG, but i dunno, i'm pretty sure that what i said is right

Why not? My iMac G5 handles it fine. Heck, i managed with 512Mb of RAM until i upgraded to 1.5Gb. I don't think what you said is right.

realy?
wow, 'couse apple says that it's highly recommended 1 gig of ram...

'bout the processor, i've messed up with the Final Cut 2
sorry
 
It seems that your graphics card is unsupported. I've had this happen to a computer before.

What are the specs of your computer?
Also, what version of FCP express are you running?
 
Admittedly it was less than perfect, and that was 3.5 not 4.0 ;)

so can i run it or not

is there a way i can do it like install video card into or something





so how can i turn off the hd for it
 


so if i had 1 more gb will it still run

whoa!
chill bro, what's with the giant font man!


yes dude, with another gig it will run...
but that is not the problem, the BIG problem is your graphic card...

and I really don't know the sollution to that...

what I mean here, is that: doesn't matters, if you have 512 MB RAM, 1 GIG ram or 4 GIG ram, YOU WILL MANEGE to run the app, yet, the more RAM u have, the smoother and faster it will be..
