  Hi Neil7878,

  What is the operating system installed on your computer?

  Is there a safe mode for this game?

  Many games have a safe mode which will take place in the minimal settings.  This will allow you to restore the values by default if you have changed one of them.

  If you are using Windows 7, you try to install the application in the earlier version of Windows compatibility mode and check whether that solves the problem. Follow the link to do the same.

• Unable to create DirectX device on some computers. The error code is D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE.

  I'm sorry if this post is not in the right place, or if it is a duplicate. I couldn't find help anywhere for the problem that I am facing.

  I worked for a few days now trying to get a DirectX control to load on some computers in my organization. The code we have written works fine on some machines (perhaps 50%), but fails to initialize DirectX during the creation of the unit on others machines with an exception containing the code of error D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE. We use the DirectX 9 SDK for development. We did ensure that the DirectX (version 10) runtime is installed on the computers of problem as well (we believe that the runtime must be backward compatible). I wrote the code to attempt to create a device using all possible combinations of the available settings and still no device can be created! The code I used to try to find any working device is less. I'm doing something wrong? Code (written in c#) starts in the InitializeGraphics() function and calls the GetAcceptableDevice() function. The GetAcceptableDevice() function returns zero on our computers of problem:

  private GetAcceptableDevice device (DeviceType deviceTypes, Format [] backBufferFormats, DepthFormat [] depthStencilFormats []) {}
  List acceptableAdapterFormats As new List();
  {foreach (adapter AdapterInformation in Manager.Adapters)
  {foreach (DeviceType deviceType in deviceTypes)
  {foreach (backBufferFormat in backBufferFormats Format)
  Now, make sure that the depth buffer meets one of the required formats.
  {foreach (DepthFormat depthStencilFormat in depthStencilFormats)
  PresentParameters pp = new PresentParameters();
  pp. AutoDepthStencilFormat = depthStencilFormat;
  pp. BackBufferCount = 1;
  pp. BackBufferFormat = backBufferFormat;
  pp. BackBufferHeight is this. Height;
  pp. BackBufferWidth is this. Width;
  pp. FullScreenRefreshRateInHz = 0; Must be 0 in windowed mode.
  pp. DeviceWindow = this;
  pp. DeviceWindowHandle is this. Handle;
  pp. EnableAutoDepthStencil = true;
  pp. ForceNoMultiThreadedFlag = false;
  pp. MultiSample=MultiSampleType.None;//Anti-alias settings
  pp. MultiSampleQuality = 0;
  pp. PresentationInterval = PresentInterval.Default;
  pp. PresentFlag = PresentFlag.None;
  pp. SwapEffect=SwapEffect.Discard;//Required to be scrapped for anti-aliasing.
  pp. windowed = true; Must set to true for the controls.
  Treatment of vertex createFlags=CreateFlags.SoftwareVertexProcessing;//Software CreateFlags should always work.
  Device functionalDevice = null;
  try {}
  functionalDevice = new device (adapter. Adapter, deviceType, createFlags, pp);
  Return functionalDevice;
  } catch {}
  Just skip it and try the following.
  }
  }
  }
  }
  }
  Returns a null value.
  }

  public void InitializeGraphics() {}
  Device = MakeBasicDevice ();
  {if(Device==null)}
  Device = GetAcceptableDevice)

  All depth formats listed on in the case where we want to try them all (for the exhaustive tests).

  DepthFormat.D24X8, DepthFormat.D32, DepthFormat.D32SingleLockable, DepthFormat.L16, DepthFormat.Unknown}
  );
  {if(Device==null)}
  throw new Exception ("could not get an acceptable DirectX graphics adapter. Your graphics card may not support DirectX. ») ;
  }
  }
  }

  I also read on various places on the Internet that a type of software with the software vertex processing will work always, even if it's slow. I also wrote code to try to create a unique feature of software with the software vertex processing and apparently not worked either. The code is as follows:

  private MakeBasicDevice() {} device
  try {}
  PresentParameters pp = new PresentParameters();
  pp. AutoDepthStencilFormat = DepthFormat.D16;
  pp. BackBufferCount = 1;
  pp. BackBufferFormat = Manager .Adapters .default .CurrentDisplayMode .format.
  pp. BackBufferHeight is this. Height;
  pp. BackBufferWidth is this. Width;
  pp. FullScreenRefreshRateInHz = 0; Must be 0 in windowed mode.
  pp. DeviceWindow = this;
  pp. DeviceWindowHandle is this. Handle;
  pp. EnableAutoDepthStencil = true;
  pp. ForceNoMultiThreadedFlag = false;
  pp. MultiSample = MultiSampleType.None;
  pp. MultiSampleQuality = 0;
  pp. PresentationInterval = PresentInterval.Default;
  pp. PresentFlag = PresentFlag.None;
  pp. SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Discard;
  pp. windowed = true; Must set to true for the controls.
  DefaultDevice device = new Device(Manager.Adapters.Default.Adapter,DeviceType.Reference,this,CreateFlags.SoftwareVertexProcessing,pp);
  DefaultDevice return;
  } catch {}
  }
  Returns a null value.
  }

  One might think that DirectX may run on any graphics card, even if it ran slowly on the low-end cards. Is it possible that DirectX does not work on some graphics cards? It is somewhat disturbing, because about half of our computers will not initialize our DirectX control and our control of OpenGL works fine on these machines. Is there something else we can try, perhaps related to some system settings that are more fundamental than the initialization code? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Hi David,

  ·         You have the latest video drivers installed?

  Method 1: Check if you have the latest display and video drivers. Log on to the computer manufacturer website and look for the same thing.

  Method 2: Install the latest version of DirectX and check if that helps.
