An error comes up saying "You computers driver was not tested with this game.
A newer or more compatible version may be available. You must update your
driver."

Hi Gorgerwert,

You should explain to your parents the need to update your driver:
- The game will not work otherwise. Rolling back drivers is a built
in feature of Windows XP and there is also a System restore feature.

You already upgraded your DirectX to 9.0c which is a much more
major upgrade than the Video drivers will be.
