    This may be due to your video card, can you post your PC specs?

    A screenshot of the error message would have saved me a lot of time.

    So would looking at the forum posts beforehand.

    Install a video driver. That's a Direct3D acceleration error. your video driver isn't DirectX compliant.

    Or, POST MORE INFO.
    Include dxdiag output. (If you're running 64, use 64-bit dxdiag.) (Also, don't forget to put it in CODE tags.)

    Hi,
    Another alternative would be:

    Start button > search > Device Manager > Display adapters > your card > Driver > update Driver

    NOOOOOO don't do this.
    All it will do is update you with the lastest WHQL driver that Microshaft has. 90% of the time, that driver will NOT support DirectX and will cause exactly the problem that the OP is having.

    Get the driver DIRECT from the manufacturer of your video card and nowhere else.
    In the OP's case, this happens to be AMD/ATI.

    You can still install 9.0 redistributions on top of DirectX 11 (link to dl here http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1295981), no guarantee it will help though...
