Run the video and sound accelerator tests in the DirectX diagnostic (dxdiag). Then click the button in the diagnostic to save the information. Compare the hardware configurations of the two computers. Compare the video and sound card drivers to the versions available on the respective manufacturer's web sites. You can also copy segments of the information saved above to messages posted here so that persons with similar hardware can compare their driver versions to the drivers in the computer you are unable to run the game in. Make sure you include details like CPU type, video accelerator type and driver version and sound card type and driver version. Most of this information is in the information saved by the diagnostic.

Check the game publiisher's web site for patches, compatability information, peer support forums and FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
