    Cheers, The errors come as two pop ups.. the first pop up I explained in post 1.. and the second one says.. "could not create the device 3d Object"..

    And won't let me open the game, which is iSnooker as I've said.

    It's a SiS661x video driver my Laptop uses.. the startup file had become damaged, I re-installed it through the manufacturer's official site and it's working again.

    Just as I explained, the video driver needed re-installed again from my Laptop's official website.. I did it and now the game's working again.
