maybe you video card is lower than minimum requirement of this games
if you have a good video card just need to update your video card driver or update DirectX.
just need to goto your videocard brand website and download driver for free.
Brand mean: NVIDIA, ATI, MatroX, ...

I hope you ever watched the inside your computer.
If not, go to a computer shop where they sell stuff to put into the computer.
The video card can become to old. Games do evolve constantly to better games... yet you need a very good and up-to-date video card for the newest games.
So it might be better for you to buy a new video card.
But as I said before... if you never opened the computer case before and you don't know what the video card looks like, you'd better go to a computer shop.
Ow and some games can be played even with an older video card, yet the preformance goes down a bit. You can set the video settings of the games lower and sometimes you can play it than.

This is really easy, have a look at the box your computer game came in (provided you haven't ripped it off the net of course), and it will tell you the minimum requirements the game requires.
If its a new game and your pc still has an AGP graphics card you will probably need to upgrade to a PCI express card, which will mean a new motherboard, ram, processor and probably, power supply.

You need to know the connection on the motherboard. I use the ATI Radeon series graphic card in my PC and have never had any problems with it.
I would recommend any ATI Graphic Cards!
