Los:v Please Help!

[snipercountry]

When I try to play LoS: Vietnam, the screen will go black, just as if the game is really starting up. However, just a second or two after the screen goes black, it turns back to the desktop, and a box pops up and says:

Error creating D3D9 Device

Can anyone please help me? I payed twenty dollars for the game, and last night I played it at my friend's house, where the game actually worked. It looks like an awesome game, and just want to make it work so I can play it on my computer.

Thanks to anyone who can help me on this issue.

You likely need to either:
A) install or re-install the latest version of directx from www.microsoft.com/directx

OR

B) Upadate your video card drivers to the latest available from the manufacturer.

Okay, I know I have the latest DirectX on my computer. How do I update my drivers? I know I have an nVidia, and I think it is a TNT2. Help!
