Details may be required before anyone can

help. For what Operating System was this game

written (MS-DOS or Win3.1?) How did you first

instal it on your Win98 PC and did you try reinstalling

it? What does the game require as AUTOEXEC.BAT and

CONFIG.SYS settings? How did you implement these

under Win98 (e.g. via AUTOEXEC.DOS or otherwise) ?

The message is telling you that your video card does not have the advanced

features that the game requires. Unless you have recently changed the card,

then this is probably because the correct driver for the card is not

installed. Look in device manager and see what name is used for the

description of the video adapter. If it's a generic name then Windows has

installed a default driver, and this will not have the features your game

requires. Download and install the correct driver for your video adapter

card.

 

Then re-install DirectX.
