Hello, I recently installed a game called "Soldier of fortune" and I get this error

I have done a lot of google searching and some people say it could be my OpenGL or Video drivers.. So I updated my DirectX driver and it is 9.0 here is my system info:

U can try to update your video drivers but u must know wich one to pick up (depending your mobos chipset http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=5&ArticleID=68&P=5 be sure that pick up right ones)http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2&OSID=1&CatID=1160
If driver update doesnt help u have to go the shopping new videocard if u want toplay that game

Like many games this one has its share of patches. Did you download and install them yet? Maybe they will help.
