Graphics Card Shader problem!

I tried running Microsoft Flight for the first time, and am getting prompted with the following error.

Microsoft Flight cannot run because the shader version of your video card does not meet the minimum requirement. Please review the system requirements on the Microsoft Flight website. This program will now exit.

I have a pretty new build, got it from PCS in February and well had a fair few problems, ironed most of them out and now discovered another one. I have the Nvidea GeForce GTX 570 Graphics Card.

Make sure you are running the latest drivers.
CERTIFIED
Win7 64 296.10
Win7 32 296.10
BETA
Win7 64 BETA 301.24
Win7 32 BETA 301.24

Check DirectX to see if any errors show up.
Start - Type DxDiag and enter
If no errors make sure your display adapter is set to 32bit color.

Yep, I have the latest version 296.10 and I believe it is 32 bit colour. There was no errors under the dxdiag.

Did you try the Beta Drivers? Did you do a clean install when installing.

Completely remove the card and all software and drivers and try again. Can sometimes just clean up the issue.
