Windows 7 Direct3D error.

[Grub]

Hey all,

I have recently taken some time off from one of my favourite games, mainly to get all the others I hadn't played yet out of the way

I went to fire it up the other day and got the following error. I have noticed its going on about Directx9. I have tried all compatibility modes and have gotten nowhere.

I have since re downloaded and reinstalled the game and am still getting this error.

This game has worked on Win 7 and ran beautifully. Is there anyway around this at all? Thanks for any help.
