Cannot start game (ERROR: Failed to create a graphics device. Exiting)

I just aquired the game and installed it. At first the game started but the screen did not fit so the game was not possible to pay. As i tried to find the solution to this problem a second problem occured - now I cannot start the game and get the above ERROR message. FYI - I now also get the same error when trying to start Europa Universalis (this game was worked up to now). If someone can help me I would be so happy :D

Probably you have your Windows fonts set to 150%, which makes the launcher's Play button go off the screen. Either set them to 125%

OR

right-click on ck2game.exe and and select "Properties". Click on the "Compatibility" tab, and under "Settings", check the box next to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
