I got empire at war about 2 or 3 months ago when it first came out it all ran fine for when i started playing it and then i had a break till about now and now when i click to play it it says insufficient 3d hardware when it use to run fine and now it dosent work at all i have dowloaded directx sdk and it still dont work and the latest patch (1.04) please help

Some files could have been moved. Uninstall the game but select the repair option and follow the process. If this doesnt work, do a full uninstall/re-install and also make sure that all your drivers are up to date.

If the problem STILL continues, try running the game without a patch installed, to see if its the patch that created the problem.
