    What version of XP? 32 or 64? Did you load the DVD retail version?
    What hot fix did you download? Have you tried a complete new installation since the fixes are out?

    This happened to me everytime i tried to open it from the desktop. I cancelled the error message 4-5 times and tried again and all was well. Not sure if that offers any clues though to your problem.

    You are required to have the Aegia driver installed. If this is not installed, you will get that error as well.

    Sorry.. but I don't think you can even launch the game with that video card. Time for an upgrade.

    Are you missing a 1 before that 700? Please tell me you are... If you're not that would definitely be your problem without any doubt. However if you have X1700 then your problem remains mysterious.
