Hi Ian,
That error is complaining about your nVidia Live Update
component.
-- Translation: The drivers you have installed are unusable
or corrupt.
Updating video card drivers can solve most gaming issues.
Here's some
simple abc's to always keep in mind. a. Shut off download
accelerators,
firewalls and antivirus programs when downloading or
installing updates;
b. Check for game patches:
www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a
c. Make sure you meet the game's minimum video and system
requirements;
d. Check for known issues with your video card at the game's
web site.
1. Before you update your drivers, I recommend that you
install DirectX 9.0c:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...11-62fe-4f61-aba1-914185249413&displaylang=en
Here are the steps I recommend you use to update your driver.
If you've
never done this before I recommend you also look over the
Installation hints
and Release Notes both of which are linked to from their
download page.
2. Download the latest drivers from:
www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
3. Save the .exe driver in My DocumentsMy DriversnVidia
4. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key
about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe
Mode.
5. Click Start / (settings) Control Panel / System / Hardware
Device Manager / expand +Display Adapters / right click on
the adapter, pick "Uninstall", and click No if asked to
reboot.
6. Use Control Panel / Add-Remove programs to uninstall the
previous driver (exe)software which may have been
installed.
7. Restart the computer in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key
about once every second as it's rebooting to pick Safe
Mode.
8. If Windows prompts you to install the adapter, click
"Cancel".
9. Double click the nVidia driver we saved to My DocumentsMy
DriversnVidia folder in step 3 to install.it. If it
complains about
Windows Logo Certification just click "Continue". This
is normal.
10. After you reboot, go to Control Panel / Display /
Settings and
choose 32 bit Color Quality, and 800x600 or higher
Resolution.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Test your drivers using DXDiag: Click Start / Run / type:
DXDIAG
Click the "Test" buttons in the Display, Sound, Music &
Network Tabs;
If any of the Display options are Disabled and you cannot
Enable them,
your most likely solution would be to update your Chipset
Drivers as per
my website:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/Video.html#v11
Your program might not support dual monitors, or "dual head"
video cards
You can disable the extra video output in your display
properties control
panel. Click Start>Settings>Control
Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced.
Along with your Video card, Sound Cards, Motherboard Chipsets,
and Video Monitors may also require updated drivers. Even
your
motherboard's BIOS may need to be updated for compatibility
with
your Video card. These steps are listed at:
http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk
Perhaps the old Nvidia drivers did not completely uninstall.
If that's the
case, use this utility to completely uninstall the drivers and
go to step 7:

The latest video drivers sometime don't work with a particular
game.
(Check the Video suggestions in the readme.txt file in your
game folder/CD)
If there's no suggestions, try an older (WHQL) driver, and/or
if you still
experience problems try a Beta driver, or even an Omega driver
instead:

OMEGA Drivers:

There you have it, if you have any questions feel free to post
them!
