"3d initialization error"
I have recently wiped my hard disks and reinstalled windows xp and all
components but i am having trouble playing my games, whenever I try to play, it comes up with an error message saying '3d intialisation failure, please make sure you have installed directx and a updated display driver'. I have installed directx 9.0 and have a updated display driver but it still comes up with this message. In some cases it says 'cannot create 3d device'. my video card is a Nvidia geforce4 mx440 with agp8x. |
