Yes that is it. While I am not a huge expert, it looks to me as if you will have problems. The game requires Directx 9.0 video card but the video card you have does not seem to support that version of directx. Here are the game specs from the game's page:

Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP
Pentium 1.2 GHz, AMD 2200+
256 MB (512 MB for XP)
DirectX 9 Compatible Video Card
64MB (Low texture quality)
128MB (Medium texture quality)
256MB (High texture quality)
DirectX 9 Compatible Sound Card
CD-ROM Drive: Yes, for boxed version installation
Hard Drive: 550mb
Microsoft DirectX 9.0c (Included)
Microsoft Managed DirectX (June 2005 – Included)
Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 (Included)

It looks to me like you need a new graphics card.

This is the part of your file that I checked the card you have:

---------------
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR
Manufacturer: S3 Graphics, Inc.
Chip type: S3 ProSavage DDR
DAC type: S3 SDAC
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_5333&DEV_8D04&SUBSYS_90121509&REV_00
Display Memory: 32.0 MB

Your graphics card is 32MB (game requires 64MB) and it's an integrated card for basic application use rather than gaming. The video card compatibility patch I posted a link to above will likely allow the game to start, but it will look pretty bad until you get a video card upgrade. Please always check the system specs vs. your own system before purchasing.

Your drivers for video and sound are also from 2003. Those will likely need to be updated regardless.

How do I get that??? Do I have to buy it or are there other ways??? If so what are they???

Ram is also tight as you are running Windows XP and have less than 512MB

Ok, I've pointed you at the video card patch that lets it work with older video cards several times. I don't know for sure that it will solve your problem, but it probably will allow you to run Panzer Command on a below-spec system. Please follow that link above and unzip the patch into your installation folder and give it another try.

True, though that is very unlikely to stop the game working, it will just slow it down.
