Default 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.

Default Unable to create Direct3d device

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.

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