Format.

[Necronmancer]

Hello.

I have recently formatted my C drive, which is the drive windows in installed on while my Dawn of War: Dark Crusade is installed on drive D. After i have reinstalled windows i can no longer enter Dark Crusade (Failed to intialize video card) or the Graphic Configurations thing (Spooge driver not found). I was wondering if there is any way other than reinstalling to make the game work again?

Thanks.

ok, formatting your C partition will have removed the DoW entries from your registry - this will cause problems when patching or playing online (the patch wont be able to identify the current game version or where its installed and gamespy wont be able to check to see if you have a valid CD key). The best thing to do is to reinstall - it shouldnt take long.

However, the problems you describe would not be cuased by DoW missing its registry values, rather - it sounds like your graphics card isnt installed correctly. Post a dxdiag please.
