My computer is a HP Pavilion dv7t-6100 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC
When I go into the "Graphics" tab on the launcher, it shows that it is not detecting my video card.
I believe I have installed all required codecs, and the divx9.0 ****...help?
The idiot with HP's tech support team is about to make me scream, he can't understand that this is a FRESH install, keeps asking me how I recovered my system lmao.

It's because your default video driver does not support Direct3D acceleration.
1. Go to the manufacturer website of your video card. This WILL NOT be HP. In your case, it will either be Intel or AMD.
2. Download the latest driver for your video card.
3. Install the driver, Choose advanced, then "Clean Install" (If running Vista + run the installer as administrator)
4. Reboot
5. EnjoyTake the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

HP is the maker of your laptop, not the maker of your video chipset, and 90% of the time, the drivers from HP do not support the DirectX technology that the client requires. Which is why you end up with the error in the first place.Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.
