Hello I am having a shader model 3.0 issue I am using Parallels 10.2.1 to try and install and use Giant Editor And Farming Simulator 2015 but the keep coming up with the error

"Error: Could not init 3d system. Shader Model 3.0 is required. Please install the lateset video drivers."
I have no idea what to do and have been trying for over a week now there are bits of info all over the web but noting helps.

I am using windows 8.1 and have installed .Net, DirectX, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3DX Max, Blender, Farming Simulator 2015, Giant Editor 6.0.3 32Bit, Giant Editor 6.0.3 64Bit, Giant Editor 5.5.2 32Bit, Giant Editor 5.5.2 64Bit, Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8/8.1-64-bit.

I am using a Macbook Pro, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 1T SSD. To run Parallels 10.2.1

I am going to try again from fresh with Windows 7 tonight.

Anyone got any ideas what going wrong for me?
 
Hello, NicholasD1,
Guest OS in Parallels Desktop have no access to physical graphics cards present in a Mac. Instead, Parallels Display Adapter driver (which is part of Parallels Tools installation) interfaces with virtual hardware and provides 3D acceleration features. The actual acceleration is achieved by translating DirectX commands from the guest to OpenGL API on OS X side,to provide the maximum possible video performance follow http://kb.parallels.com/122485
