In that window you have to check whether the settings are enabled in display page. Now close that window and right click on your desktop. There you have to make sure that hardware accelerator is placed at full. Some games need to have a software in order to run the game.

I bet that the game need some language pack and latest version of Direct X. If you receive an error related to Direct3D, though the error was triggered by Microsoft DirectX, the error may be really coming from your video card. In this case, try to uninstall and reinstall your video card driver. See if this works. Also, check that the game you are playing is compatible with your computer particularly your video card. It came with the laptop sony vaio.

Sorry, I suck epically at this stuff. Gibbatron said:. Right click on the my computer icon and click properties. Run windows update if you're not sure and that should update to the latest version will take a while to download if you don't have it. Repeating what i said before, google your problem and you should find someone, somewhere has also had the same problem and chances are there is a solution for you out there - maybe a driver update or a patch.

None of my friends have ever had problems with games on Vista, so it sounds like just your machine. Take it back under warranty is the next best suggestion if you can't fix it yourself.
