Several things you need to do with this laptop you need to update your video drivers, make more free space on your C drive by uninstalling some software. Download and install DX 9c from Microsoft that will add some files to your DX 10 that are needed by the game.

[Kristoffer]

Well..thank you guys, I will try to install
Catalyst Software Suite (32 bit) English Only
As Deguar, posted the link.

Mouse: Well..yea, I know I have a little space, I got to make up some space, I know :p but DX 9c? I updated it trough the Game installation, isnt that enough? If not, how do I do that ? Thanks!

Edit: I installed that Catalyst Software suit, I have no idea why..But I did, and I had all the functions there already soo..But I tried the game, and it didnt work. Ill try to restart my computer, when Im all done here. Ill be back with another Edit if it worked or not!

BTW, I just saw that you Mouse, I should update my drivers? What drivers, and do you mean trough the .. damn, what is it called in english, Device manager (?) Well, I guess so, but did you mean trough that? Or what? :)And what kind of Drivers?

[mouse]

The Catalyst set is the contains the driver for your video which was the driver you needed to update:p To update DX 9c go to Microsoft's web site search for Direct X then download and install DX 9c.
Hinterland needs both video drivers from at least mid 2008 and DX 9c to run properly but it also needs enough free space on the drive too. Windows needs at least 10% of the drive as free space to move files around.

If after you've done those things the games still doesn't run please post your DX diag again;)

[Kristoffer]

Mouse, I fixed that Catalyst set, I dunno why but yea I did so. Now I removed some software etc from my computer I have 14,8 GB / 90,2 GB, thats more than 10 % from C: , ill try it right now, ill come back with an edit,

Edit: Well..Im sad to say didnt work, Ill try to download DirectX 9c, but I have vista mate, couldnt it be anything with the "Run as..." you know? Windows 2000, 95/98 etc.
Edit2: Found this one, I hope it is the right one, http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html

Video card driver, you mean my graphic cards?

Well..yea I searched for any updates at the device manager and, I searched for updates there for my Radeon, and it didnt find any.

[mouse]

Ati Radeon express X200 is your graphic card/video card if the company that built your system doesn't provide updated drivers the following is what you need to do. You need to do a search for "Ati Mod tool" download it then go to AMD/Ati and download the graphic/video card drivers. Then make sure to follow the instructions for the mod tool to modify your graphic drivers. Uninstall your current drivers, reboot, then install the newly modified drivers for your graphic card.
Without drivers dated from at least mid 2008 you will not be able to play the game.

[Kristoffer]

Well..Thanks mouse, Ill do now and ill search for
Ati Radeon xpress x200m Series, so Ill search for any newer drivers, on there website..
Well..I found Ati drivers at this site,
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Vista 32bit
Integrated/Motherboard, there I found my Radeon Xpress 200m
Well, yea then I come back to this site agian..

As the one Deguar posted.

So I dont know should I download the Ati Mod Tool? , Is it an tutorial how to use it? cuz im very bad with this, Graphics etc.

[mouse]

The mod tool has step by step instructions on how to use it. You card is not listed since it's an onboard card for a laptop the numbers shown on the list start with x300 while your card is an X200 Express.

[Kristoffer]

Sorry mate I dont get it, should I download drivers for x300 or should i get the Ati mod tool?

[mouse]

You will need to do both since the mod tool will allow you to use the driver for X300 which is a desktop card. You have an onboard card so without the mod tool you won't be able to install the X300 drivers.
Make sure to uninstall your current video drivers before trying to install the modded driver.

[Kristoffer]

Awwwww, seriously how do I even uninstall my drivers? Omg..this is so confusiiing.
Shouldnt I update my drivers first? Why is this game so confusing? Why is all my other games working fine, but not this one? And I never had to update my drivers or uninstall them to play a game, but I really want to play this game so, I dont know what I should do, im just afraid ill do something wrong and f*ck my computer.

#

Remove your drivers

Click Start, then Run (or Windows Key + R) and type in the following command:

appwiz.cpl

Locate and uninstall your video drivers (They should be listed under Nvidia or ATI alphabetically)
#
Download and install the free driver removal utility Driver Sweeper
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

# Restart your computer in Safe Mode.

Tap the F8 key while your computer is booting up. A list should appear with Safe Mode as an option.
# Launch Driver Sweeper from the Start menu

There will be checkboxes for "ATI - Display" and "NVIDIA - Display". Check both of these and click "Clean"

If you receive errors, please note exactly what they are.

It is recommended to repeat the cleaning process a few times to make sure all files are properly removed.
# Restart your computer in normal mode (This should happen automatically)

You may notice some graphical irregularities (Items being larger than usual, and etc). This is normal.

Run Driver Sweeper one more time from normal mode to ensure that all driver files are removed.
# Download and install the latest video drivers for your video card.

[Kristoffer]

Thank you very much, But Im seriously afraid of doing this, it dosnt feel good at all, cuz I suck at this things. So , is this really necessary?
Why not just update the drivers?

[Kristoffer]

Sup ,given up on me? :/
