 Something wrong?

i downloaded a game to my laptop and i click on the icon and a message pops up saying:

Quote:

A problem occored initializing DirectDraw. Hardware acceleration may be disabled, please run DXDIAG.

I ran the program it said to and it didnt have any answers for me. What is the problem!?!?


PS: the game i am trying to run is a high graphic game and i am trying to run the game with a laptop. i have experienced problems with games before. Is this the problem?

I have problems with games on my laptop as well. Most laptops don’t have a good enough graphics chip to play advanced graphic games. There is nothing "wrong" with the computer, it just can’t handle the accelerated graphics

I am a graduate from MIT Tech, and my major is in computer design. The best thing to do in your situation, and one that has worked very well in our lab while facing the same problem. What we did was exactly as follows, take your PC/laptop, set it down somewhere nice, mix some laxative with some warm milk, and take a big bowl movement on it. Brown water poo works best!
