    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.

    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;

    best of luck, hope it works

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

    Hope this helps!
