Driver issues - GeForce 6200
This has only cropped up in the last week. My drivers (ForceWare 84.21) are
getting corrupted on rebooting somehow and as a result I can't run anything that uses Direct3D or OpenGL (2D stuff is fine). I get this on running the Direct3D tests in dxdiag: 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) Uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling the drivers fixes the problem, but on the next reboot it happens again. Obviously I can't go uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers on a daily basis, so I'm hoping someone here either knows how to fix this problem or knows someone who does. A Google search has turned up little of use and most of it's in Spanish or German... System specs: AMD Sempron 3300+ Motherboard: Elitegroup K8M800-M2 (as reported by SiSoft Sandra) 1Gb PC3200 RAM 256Mb (reported) Geforce 6200 (84.21 Forceware drivers) XP Professional, SP2 Have had this PC for 9-10 months and not had any graphics card issues until this last week. It all started after a reboot following some Microsoft Updates, but those were for Office so I don't see any connection.
