    Drivers issue when starting a game


    So at first I thought it was an error concerning the said game, like a bug or so. But then, after I re-installed it, I figured that wasn't the case.
    Put an attachment with the error notice.
    Anyway, I tried to update my drivers, as the error noted. Went to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager. It turned out my drivers are all up to date. I even tried running the compatibility troubleshoot, even though I don't think that's the problem.
    To summarize it all, nothing I did helped.
    If anyone's encountered the same problem, and if they know how to fix it, please help, because I really don't know what to do anymore. (:
    Oh and it's a hidden object game called Nightmare Realm, Collector's Edition.
    Thanks! (:

    Hello and welcome to the sunny sevenforums.

    This could be an obscure driver that you wouldn't normally bother with. Can you fill out your system spec please ? it would be a good start in helping us help you.

    Do you have just basic Windows drivers installed for your Radeon card, or do you have ones from ATI/AMD installed?

    It wouldn't hurt to check AMD/ATI's website to see if there is a newer driver for your x1600. I also noticed you have a virtual CD drive. Sometimes the software used to create these drives conflicts with games due to their copy protection. You could try disabling the virtual CD drive and it's software, then trying the game again.

    I can't state this enough, but DO NOT use any programs that claim to be able to find drivers. They rarely work, and the task is far simple enough to do on your own.
