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.

[B]Hello and welcome to Techspot.[/B]

What version of DirectX are you using?

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

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.
