is there anything else i need? What is it

Couple of reasons for this error,

1. Driver Issue - From official website,

A) Update all drivers including sound and graphics.
B) Update DirectX to 9.0c.
C) Download any updates from Microsoft Update.
D) Check to make sure that your Windows resolution setting matches your Silkroad in-game resolution settings.

*To find the specific drivers needed for your system, go to the website of your motherboard manufacturer or the website of the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer: Dell, Compaq, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) and then find the "Downloads" section. Select your make/model/version, then you can find a list of driver that you need as well as a download link. You are not yet done however, as these drivers are probably out of date. Next, you need to take the name of driver (such as "SiS Accelerated AGP"), and google for the company name (Example: SiS). After finding the company website, you need to download the specific driver ("Accelerated AGP"). You will need to repeat this process for every single driver.
*In addition, many drivers will have specific installation steps and instructions. Ensure that you follow them.

2. Registry Problem - Try to clean up ur registry, but u gotta b very careful while u do this.. u can mess up ur OS.. so get some1 professional to do this.

3. OS Problem - If you are running too much data on the background or ur firewall is blocking.

4. Hardware Problem - Could b ur computer hardware (video card) or anything components is causin this error.

Lemme know if u culd figure out somthin.
