I tried to run a game on my PC recently, but I got an error message when I tried to run it. The message that came up was the following:Could not create device for Direct3D. Direct3D does not have enough display memory to perform the operation."

Is there something I need to download, or do I need to get something else. Please respond. Thanks!

I am using celeron 1.7 machine.

Suggest.
