SWGB Could not initilaize Graphics system.

Error
Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

This is the error I get when trying to run Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns with a 1080p patch. Without the patch, the game runs until it freezes the PC. Before the freeze it is slow and sluggish.
If I quit before the freeze, it is fine. The freeze usually occurs in a minute or less.

I wish i could give more information, I have reinstalled several times already and looked around the internet for hours. Any help at all is helpful! I do have the most up-to date Nvidia drivers for my GPU.

PC Specs:
ASUS GTX 660 DCUII
ASUS P5k Pro LGA 775
Intel Q6600 Quad @ 3.2Ghz (I have tried going back to stock but to no avail)
8 GB DDR2 RAM
2 TB WD Caviar Green
600W Rosewill PSU

This patch is it needed? it could be causing some really large performance hits if it is not a great patch. what was this game before you had it on PC was it a console game? it sounds like it is just not optimized, or not compatible. Cheers to the core two duo quad, I have been wanting one for ages.

The issue used to not occur. It has been fine on the Exact same OS, the exact same PC, The exact same installation of Windows! just... something somewhere is bad and causing this issue. I've been looking for specifically a direct draw driver if you could point me to one I would be grateful.

Console? Ha Ha ... RTS games on a Console? Not a chance. No.

The patch enables 1080p I should probably ignore it for now and fix the crawl to a halt issue first as it is more critical...
