It might be asking you if you 'want' to upgrade DirectX, even if you already have it.

Then it might 'ask' you about video drivers.

To find out what video card you have, the easiest way is this.

1. Right click on 'My Computer'
2. Click Properties
3. Click 'Device Manager' or 'Hardware'

You'll see a tree of hardware components pop up.

4. Expand 'Display Adapters' on that list.

Your video card model should be listed there. Post it here, and we can prolly give you a link for the update.

Virus? Maybe, its silk roads anti cheat program that runs in the background. I would just ignore the warnings. On the taskbar (lower right hand corner) close any icons you DONT need. I know you need some of them to connect to Heidelburgs internet, so that will have to stay open.

Intel integraded on motherboard.

If you go to 'Windows Update' and let it scan for automatic updates, it will find a newer driver for that video card.

Are you up to date or have you done that recently?

Heh, just wondering... When you extracted your files in the temporary directory, did you go in that folder to execute Setup.exe?

Just a thought because it happened to me... :D
