Hi friends,

Just a newbie. Hope you all well.
My problem is with Championship Manager 2008 PC Game.

The error message that comes up after the initial movie sequence of CM08 is:

Direct3D failed to initialize - please ensure that you have a Direct3D compatible card

I can run Fifa 08 in all high settings except for this game!

Here is a report of my DX Diag
