Answer 1

which direct x do you have?? maybe you have 9.0 and you need 9.0c to play it. direct x 9.0c is included in the game. but maybe not in the demo. (i don't now of direct x 9.0c is included in the patch) otherwise start internet explorer and go to http://update.microsoft.com/ and look if there are some updates you miss.
