I believe that is a DirectX error. Try rebooting the computer.

No go Bill. Restarted and then reinstalled DirectX. No love.

The error is a graphics rendering error. It's possible one of the art files has become corrupted.

You could re-download the current patch you are using, and install it over your current game.
This should overwrite your artworks, and if it is the cause, solve the issue.

Appreciate the help. I think it was a driver issue.

I'm getting this error.
New graphics drivers, but no luck.
Any further help would be really welcome.
