You should check if your graphics card is alright and update the drivers, just to be sure.

Holah -

Firstly do what Tycho said, check your drivers are up to date?

Second, check your direct x version is up to date.

Curious also did this problem just start out of the blue? have you been playing this game for a long time, if so have you installed anything new recently?

Thirdly, if you have recently updated graphics drivers and then this error appeared, you may need to roll back the drivers. (i.e. sometimes graphics drivers dont install properly if antivirus, or any anti malware program or utility is running in the background)

Ill await your reply..

Well now start from scratch.

Have you insatlled anything new recently?

If Yes

Uninstall it and see if the game works.

If No

Check to see if you have the latest graphics drivers

Nvidia graphics card

AMD graphics card
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx

try that and we'll go from there
