Can not intialize 3D engine...yet again.

I have this error message "Cannot intialize 3D engine" everytime i try to run SH III or IV. I know this topic has been solved before, but none of those suggestions worked for me..I've tried to run the game with 1024 x768 , with different refresh rates, tried to delete the two movie files, changed graphics drivers- none of those made a difference.
The weird part is, that about a year ago my pc played SH III and IV with no problems at all, but only now , after a fresh install of windows XP I get this error.. Any ideas?
