[modeleng] Direct Error

Gents,
I know this isn't quite model engineering but it is spoiling my model 
engineering time so I'm prepared to take the wrap.

My son has installed a game on his lap top [pentium dual core, tons of memory 
and so on so forth]  When he tried to play the game all he gets is the report 
DIRECT 3D ERROR CREATE DEVICE FAILED.  

The game when istalled on my machine [pentium 4 but only a 32meg graphics card 
gives the same error report.

Anyone got any ideas.

Ill now go and beat myself for posting an off topic post.

safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, 
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a
Ride!"
