Sounds like what they call a weak or old graphics card. Suggestion: Try -w3d in the command line when yo start the engine. That allows to run it in weak mode.
Look up w3d in the manual to find some explanations.

cheers

I would first get the most recent "DirectX 9c Runtime" or "DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers - Multilingual" from the Microsoft site and then install or update to a fresh DirectX 9c. Then as said before, get the most recent driver for your Asus video card from the manufacturer site and install that. Reboot betwen each install.

However even though the error message does not appear, that does not mean that everything is ok with your video card, you might just have to get a newer card. Does not have to be the most recent one, a few years old, used, for a few bucks would do.

edit: by the way did you try to add the -w3d to the command line? You do that in the small window that pops up when you choose Run Level in the WED.

cheers

You not have the graphics drivers intalled
open your computer and see the model of your graphics cards
in the graphics board, have a number with the model

and then download the drivers form asus

Try to install Nvidia or ATI driver, if that does not work open your computer and see the model of your graphics card.

@cro-games:
Sorry but that is a no-no.
First find out what kind of graphics card you have, and then install the appropriate drivers.

VGAsave is a standard safe mode driver from windows without hardware acceleration.
You need to open your pc-case or take a look at the manual for your graphic device.
If you know the vendor and name of the card, you can check if it's an Ati or nVidia
or something else and downlaod the driver for it. Maybe it's also an onboard chip,
Intel or S3 or something like.
