I am suddenly getting this error and I haven't changed the video card since I last played about a week ago.

One of three softwares has developed a corrupted file(s). It is most likely a video driver, second most likely is the Direct3D version, Dx9. Last, is the game itself.
Microsoft is the most likely reason, if you allow them to do whatever they feel like to your PC through the auto updates selection.
You can start from reinstalling video drivers, try the game again, if it's fixed, then good; if not, install Dx9, retest, see if that did it. last, try reinstalling the entire game.
Meanwhile turn off auto updates, and just make a habit of manually checking and manually looking at what MS wants to do (and avoid the Express Option).
P. S. Just in case anyone new pulls up this thread in a search sweep for the error message involved, there are other causes for the error message to appear besides the purely mechanical failure of the graphics hardware, or a software screwup in drivers + Direct3D + game. You also can't mix screen settings among various types. Check other threads from the search you've made for more information.
