Hey,

Ok whenever I tried to run a game, I would get all kinds of errors. My vid card was old and wanted a new one so I bought a MSI Geforce FX5600 w/ 128mb. But STILL I get the errors. Everytime I try to run any kind of new game, it gives me some error. The ONLY game I have gotten to work is Half Life in OpenGL.. and Direct3D but it looked messed up.

I decided to format the computer and start fresh with Windows Millenium.

I installed the vid card drivers off the cd, then installed updated Detonator drivers from nvidia's website.

Got DirectX 9.0.., Updated my Soundblaster Live! Drivers.. Everything I thought I would need to get the games to work.

Here are some examples of the errors I get:

Ghost Recon
Illegal Operation

Morrowind
Rendition Error ``

Unreal II Demo

Error setting display mode: CreateDevice failed (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL). Please delete your Unreal2.ini file if this error prevents you from starting the game.

UT2003 Demo
UT2003 Build UT2003_Build_[2003-02-16_18.56]

OS: Windows 98 4.90 (Build: 73010104)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 909 MHz with 255MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 (4523)

Error setting display mode: CreateDevice failed (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL). Please delete your UT2003.ini file if this error prevents you from starting the game.

History: UD3DRenderDevice::UnSetRes <- CreateDevice <- UD3DRenderDevice::SetRes <- UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine


I think it has something to do with Direct3D.. Im really not sure.. I can think of any kind of drivers or anything I need..

Any help is greatly apprecaited..
