Hello,

when I press the preview button i'll get this Message;

Error: Could not initialize DirectX 10 on Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family. This error can happen for one of the following reasons:

1.) Your GPU is not supported (DirectX 10 is required - note that many integrated laptop GPUs do not support DX10)
2.) You're running Windows Vista without the "Platform Update"
3.) Your video card drivers are out of date

If you are using a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus or AMD Switchable Graphics, make sure OBS is set to run on the high performance GPU in your driver settings.

I use the Elgato Gamecapture Card on PS3

If you are on a laptop, you probably don't have a real GPU. What are your system specs?

Sorry that it's in another language but I guess you understand it:

Well, based on the CPU alone I can tell it's quite an old laptop. I assume it has an Intel GMA or something similar, which does not support the required features to run OBS.

Unfortunately, that simply does not meet the minimum system requirements to run OBS (or most likely any streaming software).

Because OBS uses the GPU to compose the scene, among other things, and to get it's performance, it requires certain features available only on DirectX 10 capable GPUs.

For now....
