Error - DirectDraw. Help me to get back my life

When I try to run SoD (or ever WoG) I get a notification:



DirectDraw Error (16385):

'DDERR_UNSUPPORTED'

File: 'J:\wawka\heroes\SourceCode\Game\WINGRAPH.CPP'
Line: 164

Now...

The best part - the path above doesn't even exist! Drive "J" is an empty MMC card slot in my PC and I don't think I ever used that. I had Heroes III WoG installed and the same problem occured...

Then I uninstalled WoG and installed H3 (without WoG to omit its crashy nature - I thought firstly it was because of this) and ... nothing changed.

I'm running Windows 7, AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core 2.20, 4GB RAM.

Everything worked fine for about few months.

And YES, I tried to run it in Winodws 98 Compability and others in Properties window.


Please help! My life turned into a distater without my fiancee (Vidomina of course )

This message is so absurd I'd consider virus scan
