Hi Prasad, that error means that when MoI asked the Windows operating system to start up the Direct3D system, it returned an error.

This could happen if you have disabled hardware acceleration for some reason, or also if you have an extremely old video card that does not support hardware accelerated 3D graphics.

Since it's related to your video card like Brian says above if you can post more information about what video card your machine has that might help to figure out what's wrong, or also you might try updating your video driver.

You also might try running the DXDiag.exe utility, to do that, open the start menu and type dxdiag.exe and push Enter, that will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and then switch to the "Display" tab and see if it reports any problems there.

If you have a very old graphics card it's possible that you may need to upgrade it before you'll be able to run MoI.
