    I have read the min requirements, but don't know how my configuration compares since its different manufacturers. can anyone tell me where I'm lacking. I bought this system 4 months ago and was told that it would handle every game out so I'm pretty disappointed to be getting this message.

    error:
    "Graphics Setup
    Failure to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets minimum requirements for Dawn of War II. Verify that direct X is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system."

    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 440 Processor 3.00GHz
    RAM: 4.00 GB
    System Type: 32-bit OS
    Video Card: NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
    HD: 500GB

    is this a good setup, and if not what do i need?

    in device manager, under display adapters, under NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI, under properties, in driver tab:
    Driver Provider: NVIDIA
    Driver Version 8.15.11.8593

    so i assume its an NVIDIA driver. is it the right one?

    this is the latest version http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista_win7_32bit_15.49.html
    try it as will update all your nvidia drivers then see what happens with the games. if still get error then start looking for a proper videocard that will fit in your motherboard & case plus make certain your psu can handle the new card.
