No, the Pixel Shader version describes the capability of your hardware. If you're getting that error from a game you will probably need to upgrade your video card. There is a way though to use software emulation but its best if you have the actual hardware that uses pixel shader.

What is a video card 256MB directX 9.0C compliant pixel shader 2?
These are the minimum specifications required for a video card to work with whatever product you are reading those statistics from. Many companies have made video cards with those specifications, ask a sales clerk to help you at a computer parts store. Or use the search functions on a computer parts website and you will find a variety of cards that meet or exceed those numbers. Whatever product you are reading those statistics from is asking for a video card with: 256mb of video ram; the ability to use directx 9.0c (or higher) and comply with pixel shader 2.0 technology. Video cards with those specifications have been around for at least 7 years and are on the cheaper end of cards currently available.
Where can you download the Shader Model 2.0 for free?
You can't download it. Its a program inside the Video Card. I would recomend buying a video card that has Shader model 2.0... Its all in the new video cards for the new era of gaming, etc... I am a big gamer and a storm chaser for The Weather Channel. Vortex 2. I have researched this same question for years in the past and have only found out that it is just a program inside your video card. I use Shader Model 2 for games and for Storm Chasing programs. I bought a video card that supports it for all my laptops and desktops from eBay and Craigslist. You will def. find it cheaper there. But if not, try going to Circuit City, in which they are closing all stores nation wide (Big Clearance Sales). You could also try Best Buy, WalMart, Target or even GameStop... Hope this answered your question... Good Luck.
