Unable to create Direct3d device
I have just installed the following graphics card GeForce4 FX5200 128MB AGP
W/ TV Out + DVI and I now find that I am unable to run any games or play DVD movies on my system. I get various messages but basically "Unable to create Direct3D device" and "Unable to initialize Direct3D" are general. When I test Direct3d in DirectX9 I get the following messages. D3D7 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure) D3D8 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code) D3D9 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code). I am now at my wits end my old cheap 16mb PCI card played DVD and ran all games, although bigger ones such as GTA Vice City never ran properly. I have tried uninstalling re-installing, installing the latest drivers and even something I read regarding "NetMeeting" none of which worked. Pleas help someone.

Based on the error codes you describe there might be several reasons. The
first might be a weak or faltering power supply. You did not mention which operating system you have so try a "repair" installation of your operating system. Should that fail then the next thing to do is a clean install of the operating system. I know that's a pain but it should fix the problem. If after a clean install you still have the problem then it could be a defective card. regards B "CW" wrote in message ...

Try a windows 98SE repair installation. In other words a reinstall.
