BRO SAME HERE!!! arrrghhhh i hate that shit, i get it all the time, i also get that error when i play day of defeat and half life 2 dm. Sometimes i get that error and the blue screen of death saying something about some missing driver thing. I installed the latest drivers when i first got it and it ran fine for a sec and then it started crashing (getting the blue screen of death) so i uninstalled it and then it would crash the same way. I like the game so much i cant play it anymore!!! someone please reply my xfire is rustyrobato93 and my email is rustyrobato93@gmail.com

hey i had the same problem. It is a driver problem im 100% sure. try to install the corect driver and have the right updatd verison of directx. Also, if your computer came with vista but you downgraded to xp that might make your drivers all messed up. When i reninstalled vista everything worked fine.
