A message box pops up whenever I try to play Frontlines: Fuel of War:
ERROR! Unable to init AGEIA PhysX ™! Please make sure you have AGEIA PhysX ™ System Software installed
What should I do?

That is fairly common with most games, they usually give three options. 1 remove. 2 repair. 3 modify. Even with these three options in most cases it is best to remove it completely and then instal it again. back up your save game files first so you dont lose anything.

Regards,

Alan.
