Lenovo S10e video card problem

[RaZoR]

I installed Command and conquer generals,and LOTR Battle for middle earth
And when i start the game,an error apears with:
Please make sure that you have direct x 9.0 or higher installed.
Also verify that you video card meets the minimum requirements,and that you do not have hardware acceleration disabled in the display control panel.
A friend of mine played generals on his lenovo s10e...

I have windows Xp home edition...it came already installed.

also installing direct x 9 would help
