Sounds like the game does not support your video card. Try to go to the cards website and download the latest drivers and see if that rectifies the problem. If not, it may be time for an upgrade in the card department.

This issue occurs if the video card installed in the Computer doesn't meet the video requirements to play the game. You can visit the Computer's manufacturer website to check for any updated driver for the video card installed in the Computer.

after installing the game, when and if you get that kind of error, it does not mean your pc drivers are not up to date, it means the game drivers are not up to date, meaning that the pc has noticed that the game could have newer patches to download. Try finding a patch for the game and see if that helps.

PS3 Error message...
This is the error code for disk errors: "An error occurred during the start operation. (8001002B)". If the disc is clean, maybe the laser is dirty. Use a lens cleaning CD to give the laser a clean (cheap to buy). You can also try deleting the temporary game data (using Game Data Utility) and reinstall the game.
