sorry, i thought i was in the right spot.
thanks for moving.
i also googled but i didnt find any answers there.
also went through the checklist on microsoft.com about troubleshooting.
and i tried the troubleshoot in dxdiag but none of the above helped me.

You're using a laptop that is unable to run DirectX 9.0 games.

You will need a better graphics card if your laptop is upgradeable. Otherwise you will need to get a better laptop/pc. This isn't a Windows/DirectX problem, it's a hardware problem.
