If you have updated your drivers and still get this error, you must make sure that the DirectX features for your video card are enabled.
Click on Start.
Click on Run...
Type dxdiag into the box.
Click OK.
Click on the Display tab.
Find the DirectX Features box.
The first feature is DirectDraw Acceleration. It should say Enabled next to it. If it says Disabled, click the Enable button. The second feature is Direct3D Acceleration. It should say Enabled next to it. If it says Disabled, click the Enable button. The third feature is AGP Texture Acceleration. It should say Enabled next to it. If it says Disabled, click the Enable button. Once all three are enabled, close the window. You may now start your game. The error should no longer occur.

It's probably not the video card, as I have the same one. instead it may be a lack of hard drive space. or may be you did't installed directx properly. or If there are no improvements you can also upgradegraphics card drivers ,installing the new drivers, you can try to download the drivers from the manufacturer of the chipset on the card.
