Graphic card error? :S

As the gentleman above me stated.
It's either a graphic card or directX issue.
Reinstall the graphic card driver and directX.

I don't think I got directX so I be installing it now. How do I update or reinstall my grahic cards?

For those who get the error that says:

Error in initrenderer(). Shutting Down.


There are a few main things that can cause this error and a few initial steps that the user can take to try and correct this problem. This error is almost ALWAYS related to the video card or directX.

The first thing you should do is figure out what the manufacturer is of your video card and find out if the drivers are up to date.

Even if they are up to date it is recommended to visit the website of your cards manufacturer and follow the instructions there for uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your video card.

If your drivers are out of date, visit the manufacturer's website to find instructions on how to update the drivers.

The next step would be to make sure your DirectX drivers are up to date.

After following these steps try running the game.

If you still get the error then come back to the forums with further information on your computers specs and we'll see if we can help you.
Also running a 'dxdiag' may help locate the problem too.

I found a solution, not sure if it will work for you though...

Control panel - display - settings tab - advanced - troubleshoot - then take the slider and pull all the way to the right.

This fixed it for me!
