Details may be required before anyone can
help. For what Operating System was this game
written (MS-DOS or Win3.1?) How did you first
instal it on your Win98 PC and did you try reinstalling
it? What does the game require as AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS settings? How did you implement these
under Win98 (e.g. via AUTOEXEC.DOS or otherwise) ?

The message is telling you that your video card does not have the advanced
features that the game requires. Unless you have recently changed the card,
then this is probably because the correct driver for the card is not
installed. Look in device manager and see what name is used for the
description of the video adapter. If it's a generic name then Windows has
installed a default driver, and this will not have the features your game
requires. Download and install the correct driver for your video adapter
card.

Then re-install DirectX.
