I think I know how to get rid of that error message: Go to Start-Programs-Soldat-Setup, when in there make sure that in the Graphics section, the Antialiasing option is unchecked. This should sort out the "Error initializing 3D Hardware..." problem. I don?t know about the other problem, trying reinstalling the game (don't forget to uncheck the Antialiasing box for the new install). If that does not work try fiddling around in Setup (maybe under the 'more' section, try checking the Video Compatibility box or Force Software. It that does not work just wait for Nightcabbage to post, he'll help you.
