If you search for a thread on this forum titled Can not Initialize 3D Engine (RESOLVED), that might give you some tips. Also, put the error message into Google and you will get quite a few links dealing with that problem, and you may well find the answer there...

Somebody once told me to never use the drivers that come with the video cards. To always go and d/l the current up-to-date drivers.

I have a NVidia Vertigo GeForce 8800 512 MB.

Runs just fine except for some of my older Command and Conquer games.

New Nvidia drivers use screen refresh rate 59 hertz defauld in my screen .... so I chance them back 60 hertz, when I install new drivers ... and game start fine
