Direct 3d problem

I'm trying to run a game on wine that requires Direct3d. But whenever I run the program, an error that says Could not initialize direct3d comes up. Any ideas on how to fix it? this did not happen until I updated to Ubuntu 11.10.

If you upgraded your OS and this is now a new problem, its probably faulty graphics drivers...

In case you upgraded from 32 to 64 bit OS also make sure you have the 32bit OpenGL libs installed.

Also try to give a little more info when you are asking for help "Could not initialize direct3d" doesn't really tells much.

Thanks for the input guys, I did figure it out though. I guess when I upgraded to 11.10 something must have went wrong. It's not fun doing a clean install of wubi but that is what I did to fix it.
