I am assuming that you get this error when you run DXdiag.

You need to check with your graphics card mfg.
Verify that the card supports DirectX 3d mode, and download and install the latest drivers.

It may be a good idea to update the drivers for your motherboard / chipset before upadating the video card driver.
