Not really a gamedev or OpenGL related question.
But what the hell: have you tried installing the latest version of DirectX?

- install latest video drivers
- see if there's a log file
- check out forums for this particular game
- google the error message

That's all I can think of at this point.

You know this site is for game development, not gaming.

Not really, this is a game development site, not a game support site. You can always try posting in the Lounge, but good luck with that.

Here is the support site for gangland.

Generally speaking, a renderer is the subsystem of a game that presents the game's data in a visual way. So, all the little guys running around on the screen are drawn by the renderer, which takes information such as position, mesh data, animation data, &c. from the rest of game engine and presents it to you, the user, in a hopefully appealing way.
