when I go to load the game it says it couldn't initialize direct draw?anyone know what that means?it used to work but now i got a different hard drive and I dont know anything about computers.

Fixed your title (subtitle).  Your original title is not likely to get you what you want.  NOB.

Well, when you got your new hard drive, what did you do with it?  Did it replace the old one?  If so, what did you do to recover your stuff off the old drive?  Sounds as if you missed when you reinstalled your operating system.

What operating system are you running?  How did you get the game onto your new hard drive, if you did?

My old hard drive went out and i got a new one,I didnt do anything I just installed the game on the new one and i got windows xp if thats what you're asking.

You don't say whether your Windows XP is up to the Service Pack 2 level, nor which copy of DirectX you have.

To properly run this game you need  DirectX 9.0c

If you need instruction on your machine, you should talk to whoever installed your disk.  They should have helped you get stuff across.

You need at least DirectX 7, or higher installed to run the game.

Yes if you are on XP, SP2.  In fact, if you are on Vista, it might be worth a try.
