I am a SimCity 4 Deluxe player, and I have brought this game for 2 months. Recently, my computer had "broken" down, and I was required to bring this computer to a technician to fix it up. The technician seemed to have no knowledge at all, and what he did was "re-install" Windows XP , which I could do that myself. Afterward, I re-install SimCity 4, and I could still play it, even though I lost all my cities. Then one day, my sister had "broken" down the computer again, and by my own self, I was able to fix it, but "split" the computer into two, so that my computer had two sets of XP running. I then re-install my SimCity game, but found that I could not play the game anymore. There was an error message saying "Hardware Driver Error - Could not initialize DirectDraw". Well, I had installed DirectX 9 already, and also, I have tried the DXSETUP on the disc. With the help of DXDIAG, I was able to find out my video card was missing ever since the technician fixed my computer.

Then you need to reinstall the video drivers.

Hey there,
If you are searching for Age of Empires III you can download it for free here: http://bit.ly/1p0vHBT
no surveys, no scams, just the full game!
The game is awesome! The addition to the expansions of this game makes it much improved. The graphics is fixed, even when the cannons shoot, realistic smoke comes out. The game play is very polished. It doesn't use Internet connection to run this game.
Cheers ;)
