I have ATI radeon 9550/x1050 series and when I start the demo (Dragon Age: Origins Character Creator ) window appears with a note "Failed to detect a supported video card". I now I have bad video card but I've seen the requirements on internet and this card could actually run the game but it isn't supported. So I'm asking you to release a patch (for the full game or creator) with carefully checked video cards that can run the game but they aren't supported. I don't want to buy full game if I'm not able to run the game because of stupid mistake.:(

It's your mistake.  The minimum card must have Pixel Shader 3b, you only have 3a.  The six year old Radeon 9600 had that when ATI cloned the bottom end of the X000 series from it.  The high end had the "b" version ( X700 to X850 ).  The X300 was based on the Radeon 9600 "SE" (worst of them), and then, interestingly, a 9550 was needed, that was based on the X300 SE (worse than the parent, now grandparent, had been).  For some reason unknown to me, when they ran short of X300s, they chose to use the 9550 as the source for the worst one of them all, the X1050.

When new, it was worth $15-20, no matter what the suckers who bought it paid.  You will notice I didn't mention the X550.  It had been based on the Radeon 9600 Vanilla card.  There was also an X600 originally, five years ago. That long ago is "forever" in computer component lifetimes.
