Problem with direct3d8, I need help.

yhs · July 19th, 2003

I got error message: Could not initialize Direct3D8!

What is the 3D card requirements for this emu?
I am using geforce2 mx card...

you need to install direct x first

This is weird, I already installed directx8.
I have no problems running C&C general...

The only option which is turned off in directx display tab is "agp texture acceleration"

my hardware config:
Athlon XP 1800
MSI MB (VIA KT266 chipset)
512MB Ram
geforce2mx 64MB
SB live
Window 2000 sp4
Nvidia latest display drivers: detonator 44.03

I am not sure why you are getting that error, if you have DX installed. However, you are going to need a geforce3 or better installed for cxbx to run correctly on retail games, or demo's with advanced technical features. No idea what your cpu is, but you will want that at least above 700 MHZ also, same as xbox.

Hope that helps!

yhs is your pc det to 32bit or 16bit? If 16bit turn it to 32. that MIGHT work no promises

btw, why do you have agp textures off? That is a big slowdown!
