Do you have a built in graphics adaptor? If so you might want to think about
buying a separate graphics card, also try updating the drivers for the
graphics and Directx.

Re: windows vista and direct3D


have you got the latest directx 9 installed?(older games need it) if not
download it and install. if your games ask for any .dll's go here;

Try updating your video drivers first, then install DX9.0c (available at:

Hope this helps!
