Try going to the setup for the game and changing the resolution. Every time i update my drivers i get an initialization error but it stops as soon as i change the display settigns.

You might also want to try and update your video card drivers.

It sounds like you didn't install correct drivers for it since DS is looking for a Radeon 7000 (which is a different card, I think)
Your best bet is to go and get new ones...
Course, I coudl be completely wrong and that will cause your computer to spontaneously combust, but that is a risk you'll have to take...
no pressure or anything

Jomil, could be net-related too
hard to say anything without some deeper info.... like
OS // Vid-card / driver-version // net / DX-version... and so far
