You might need to update DirectX.

I did. It didn't work. There was this thing where you downloaded something, and then it checked your comp. and then it gave you a code, and then you got another download. I think that's the right site.

Run 'dxdiag' in the Run box. Click on the 'Display' tab, and see if you can enable DirectDraw.

When this error happened for me, It wouldn't allow me to run the DirectDraw and Direct3D tests. So I reinstalled the newest video driver for my gfx card.

I tried that before.(Went a little overboard and tested everything else, too.)

There's always hope. But whatever. I wasn't too addicted. Just liked modding SC. Thanks for trying to help. :D
