My PC wont enable Direct3d?????
Hi all,
I have an older PC with a P3 500 processor running in a Biostar M6VBE motherboard, which I believe runs up to AGPx2. Its running Windows 98 SE, has all the latest updates from Windows Update. I am running what I believe to be the latest Bios patch as well. I originally ran an ATI Rage128 GFX card and was very happy with it. Unfortunately I had to remove the card and replaced it with a cheap Nvidia GEForce2 MX440 SE. This seemed to work fine until I tried to run Star Trek: Armada II. Ever since this I cannot enable Direct3d. Even though DXDIAG says its enabled, I get errors when I try to test it, namely.... Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code) Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) I tried removing everything, replacded the card for a FX5200 and reinstalled the latest Forceware drivers from the Nvidia site and DirectX 9.0c. but I still get the same errors. I remove the forceware driver, reinstall the ATI card and driver and Direct3d works again!!!! I reversed the process and it doesnt work. I KNOW the FX5200 supports Direct3d, and DXDIAG says its enabled, so why cant I run the direct3d tests without the errors?
