ok, do this. Change your video card drivers to basic 16 color VGA. Reboot your sys when asked.
Upon restall, re-install the latest video drivers you have, re-boot when asked.
This should fix that problem, as it worked for me. MAKE sure though you already have Dx 8.1 installed before you s |

As far as I know I have never had a 3d card and have been playing well over a year, and now it says I have no 3d card and I can't get on. I guess I will have to go out and buy one. Thanks Verant!!!!!! :( |
