I am trying to start Just Cause 2 and when I start it it says this: Fatal DirectX error! Code:15 Result:0x80070057 The game will now exit. Try starting the game with /failsafe if the problem persists.

First, update DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displayLang=en&id=35
Next, make sure your video card drivers are up to date.

From what I think, it's a HP Pavillion g series
Sorry if I don't know what you mean but I'm not all that good with hardware

It's most likely your graphics card can't run the game.

From a quick Google, it'd suggest that your graphics card isn't up to playing the game. I assume you've already tried updating DirectX.

What graphics card do you have? Are you playing on a laptop?

Yeah I play on a laptop that can run Dead Island at about 20 FPS if that matters

A laptop usually comes with some info writen on it about it's hardware, but you can always check by typing dxdiag on the start menu and running it, there you'll know what you're working with and people will be able to tell you if you're able to run it. >_<

At the bottom of your laptop there should be some stickers that say the exact name and model number.

Regardless, I'm 95% sure your laptop simply cannot run the game, hence it's given you that error.
