Something with DirectX, It's not creating the Direct3D Device. Does that computer have the newest version of directX? it doesn't need to be the newest but that's the best lol.

Go to Start->Run->Dxdiag.exe . See if it finds a problem with it. Or go through the tests and see if you can find something wrong (something doesn't do what it says it will do)

Could it be that I do not have a sound card?
