Game wont load correctly

I have installed Dawn of War(Warhammer 40000)When asked to replace disc 1 to
finnish installation I get the error message ERRORS:Spooge driver not
found.Verify that direct x is properly installed."I'm sure it is.
The disc also takes me to a graphics configuration box which is blank and
won't let me do anything except exit! Regards Jed

Hi Jedi,

Usually that message indicates that your video card isn't supported by DoW.
What type of video card do you have installed on your system?

Here are a few ways to identify which video card you have
installed on your computer.

1. Click Start / Run / type: dxdiag
Click the Display Tab
Look under Device for the name and manufacturer

2. Click Start / (Settings) Control Panel
Click Display
Click the Settings Tab
Click the Advanced... button
Click the Adapter Tab

3. Click Start / Run / type: msinfo32
Click on the + Components
Click on Display to see the name on the right

4. Use Belarc to see indentify your Video, Chipset and Motherboard:

5. Get the information from the manufactures website (or store)

6. Look on the Video card itself if you plug into a card, or

7. Look in your Motherboard manual if you plug into the
on board video built into the motherboard of your computer.

Hope that helps you identify the make and model of your video card,
and afterwards, Try updating your Video drivers using these steps:
