    Run dxdiag?

    Start => Run => DXDIAG

    Anyway, check your drivers are up to date, for your video card. And make sure you have DirectX 9.0C installed as well .

    What is your video card? Right click on your desktop => Properties => settings => Advanced => Adapter

    A print screen of this tab would be nice
