Try uninstalling the drivers and see if that works.

Still no change. I've tried uninstalling the game several times but nothing seems to work.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

What version of DirectX are you using?

You could try downloading and installing DirectX 9c from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

Still doesn't work. I have an onboard card that works fine but this thing has never worked for me. I don't know if it makes any difference but it is a Pci card.
