Direct draw support / Geforce 6600
Hi,
WHen I upgraded my pc recently, I also upgraded my GFX card from a geforce 3ti200 to a geforce 6600. However - I'm finding that a lot of "old" (ie 2 or 3 years) games / demos will not run on the new card - producing errors like "unable to load texture", "Can't initialise direct draw" etc.. I am using a multiboot system with win98se, winme and winxp - have tried various versions of direct x, and a couple of versions of the nvidia drivers - (77.72 and the one supplied with the PNY geforce card) - have also tried dxeradicator and driver cleaner to remove all traces of direct x and the nvidia drivers, before a fresh install of the mobos agp drivers and dx /nvidia drivers, still get the same error message SO - I decided to install my geforce 3 ti200 - all bar one of the demos worked fine.. Any ideas what I can do? It gets through the dxdiag tests, but It seems I have registry errors - dx 8.1 reports: --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: DAC type: Device ID: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00F2&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_A2\ 000800 Display Memory: 244.0 MB Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit)(optimal refresh rate) Monitor: L1915S Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200 Driver Name: nvdisp.drv Driver Version: 4.14.10.7772 (English) DDI Version: 8 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 6/15/2005 17:20:00, 131488 bytes Driver Signed: No WHQL Date Stamp: None VDD: *vdd Mini VDD: nvmini.vxd Mini VDD Date: , 0 bytes Device Identifier: {D7B71E3E-43B2-11CF-EC7D-0A2003C2C935} Vendor ID: 0x10DE Device ID: 0x00F2 SubSys ID: 0x00000000 Revision ID: 0x00A2 Registry: Errors found: Key 'HKCR\CLSID\{4516EC43-8F20-11d0-9B6D-0000C0781BC3}\InprocServer32' is missing.

With this many "is missing" reports, I'd recommend reinstalling DirectX. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx Dan kirjoitti: Hi, WHen I upgraded my pc recently, I also upgraded my GFX card from a geforce 3ti200 to a geforce 6600.
