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.
