Go to your "run" prompt and type "dxdiag".

This will test all your directX features for you.

hey kc, i have the exact same tnt2 32mb video card with nvida driver 52.16 for winxp installed. can you tell me what driver you used to get this game to work because i am getting the exact same error and have gone through dxdiag steps checking "stuff". i have reverted to dx8.1 but havent tested the game yet. if anyone else knows what i could try lemme know! Thanks, -Rob

hey i just got the newest drivers for nvidia....u know whats weird...is that ppl told me this game doesnt support this card...but it worked for me....

xirnibor

do you know what version those drivers u got from nvidia were? i keep getting this error, i have a ak32aMB with the 32MB TNT2 card, 512MB PC133 SDRAM, Athalon XP 1700-i just downloaded an nvidia driver from windowsupdate website, im going to reboot and try it. if i cant get it to work, i may test the game on a 64mb or 128mb video card, but i would like to use this one if possible. thanks for all/any help!

its called goto www.nvidia.com and download the detonators Get those not the ones from microsfot. Microsofts suck the biog one
