Curse the Spooge!

ERROR:
Spooge Driver not found. Verify that DirectX is properly installed.

This continues to pop up when i try to load up Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War - Winter Assault. Is there a way to fix it without buying a new card?

EDIT: I really didn't know where to put this, since it both involves a game and technical issues. oh and i have tried to uninstall and reinstall the game, so that didn't work.

...Do I want to know what "spooge" is?

I found this on Dawn of War's forum....

Symptoms: Game won't start, error message stating that "spooge driver not found, verify that directX is installed" is displayed.

Problem: Your graphics card is not being initialized correctly by the game.

Possible solutions:
Please try the following three things.

1. Make sure that your card can actually run Dawn of War. Here's an (incomplete) list:

Cards that will run Dawn of War
-ATI Radeon 8500 and above
-Nvidia Geforce 2 and above

Cards that will not run Dawn of War
-Intel integrated graphics chips
-S3 chip family of integrated cards
-Matrox Parhelia family

Note that there are a few exceptions.
Remember, you need a card that is Hardware T&L capable.


2. Update your video card drivers. This is the number one most common fix for this problem. The latest versions of the video drivers can be downloaded here (http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html) for ATI cards and here (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp) for nvidia.

3. Check if your mainboard chipset drivers are installed and up to date. We've seen quite a few cards running in PCI mode due to the chipset drivers not being installed or totally out of date. This really slows your cards down.

That's reminds me... I still need to pick up Winter Assault.

Spooge is a common slang term for manjuice.

And Lochaber Axe, update your video drivers.
