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)

);
{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.

  • Critical error "cannot create directx device.

    If I have a microsoft game open freecell, solitaire, etc. and play any other game such as modern warfare 2, Farcry2, (a directx9 and directx 10 game) etc when I quit the game a critical error message "unable to create directx device" is on the desk. When I click OK the game frecell closes.  This has happened just recently. I ran dxdiag in 32 and 64 bit modes.  Direct sampling, Direct3D, and AGP Texture acceleration are enabled.  I reinstalled directx 9 c on microsoft web sites. DirectX 10 to reinstall not found. I reinstalled the video card and sound drivers, nothing works. I can play microsoft 2 or 3 games at the same time and their closure does not create a problem.  All directx 9 and 10 games perform without problem. I ran regedit and directx by default reg_S2 (value not set), but I was told it's ok.  I was invited by Windows 7 free technical support of the Microsoft Tech Support market Place forum. I was told by the technology which offers on my case that Windows 7 is not supported and it blew me off the coast.  A lot of people on the web with the same problem, but no answers.  Previous posts on the forum gave rise to no response or a work around that is not open two programs.  I want to fix the problem. JohnnyBoyz

    Try this, it worked for me on my Windows7 machine where games microsoft kept crashing with a directx error.
    1 - Create a new folder on your desktop and name it 'games' or something else.
    2 - Go to c:/program files and double-click the microsoft Games folder
    3 - there are folders for all installed games. Open each folder, one at a time and copy the .exe file and paste it into the new folder 'games '. Do NOT use the shortcut of Media Center.
    Some of the games require that you also to copy their files .dll with them in the new folder 'games '. For me, it was chess, Mahjong and Minesweeper. The rest of them worked without copying the .dll file.
    Open the game by clicking on it in the new 'games' folder, or make new shortcuts using the files in the new folder.
    This bypasses somehow with the Media Center, which seems to be the problem with the crash of directx.
    I hope it works for you!

  • After a custom Windows 7 installed on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6084, my audio device does not start. Error code: this device cannot start. (Code 10)

    I got driver Conexant speakers on my laptop. I tried to find a device driver updates, but have had no luck. After being in Control Panel, hardware and audio, Device Manager, sound, video and game controllers, under that is high definition Audio Device with a yellow triangle and!.

    After a right click and update driver, it says that the driver is up-to-date. In addition, the error code says this device cannot start (Code 10)

    In addition, this seems to be a driver of Microsoft when the original driver was Toshiba/Conexant. I looked on the support Web site of Toshiba for a driver updated for my laptop and Windows 7.

    Any suggestions?

    Umesh P,.

    Thank you for answering my question. I don't know that this forum allows you to stay busy. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

    To sum up, I checked the Windows Audio and Windows Audio EndPoint Builder according to your instructions. Both were running as usual and start automatically, so it wasn't the issue.

    I then visited Fix It. On the web page, since I am under Windows 7, the instructions on the provided web page to access the control panel and through system and security, to try to resolve the problem to fix common computer problems.

    This process led me through the same re-setup of the device through Windows 7 driver that failed previously. Also because it has detected Windows 7, the web page would allow me to run the Fix It program.

    When I visited the Support from Toshiba web page you provided, I was unable to find a sound driver for Windows 7. After filtering through my computer on their web page, the nearest driver was for Vista.

    Take a chance, I downloaded it anyway. What has been the worst that could happen? It does not work? Well, I was there already. In any case, the installation worked and I now the audio again.

    Moreover, this is the link for the driver, for anything that might be in a similar situation I've been:

    driver_audio_conexant_25636A.exe

    -or-

    http://cdgenp01.CSD.Toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_audio_conexant_25636A.exe

    Also, Conexant offers no direct audio driver support and ask you to check with the manufacturer, which in my case is Toshiba. Toshiba not currently has an audio driver Windows 7 for my particular Satellite phone. Since this is an older, they can't come out with an updated driver.

    But, since the audio driver Vista download works, it is now a non-issue.

    Thank you!

  • When you try to create a system image, receive the error code 0 x 81000019

    Get the error code when you try to create a system image on a 900 + GB hard drive with 900 GB of free space. Keeps telling me that there is not enough space to create the image of the shadow. I'm trying the disk image has only 40 GB of data. What is going on? Using Windows 7 64 bit Pro.

    Many hours of searching the Web for answers about a year ago, said that relatively few people have this problem and proposed solutions in the forums have been complex, machine dependent and seem to fail for most of the people who have tried a fix...

    So when I gave up and called Microsoft... they told me to take my problem to anyone assembled my computer...

    The man who built my machine told me not to worry, simply store all my files on the cloud, as he does...

    So now I store my important stuff on a spare drive, we have installed in the box, go to live with the inability to make appropriate backups and restore points...

    All my old computers is standard backups without any hassle... Just this new machine with Win7.

    (The only "new" thing was a disc SSD C... can't believe it would make one difference either, other than speed... and many people use them in 2011...)

    Guess it would be necessary to take the same measures
    as before.

    As to the question you are trying to solve... I don't see
    One possibility is maybe worth a try.

    Photo Gallery has an exclusive database that can
    corrupted. Uninstalling / reinstalling Photo
    Gallery does not affect the database.

    I suspect that your version of the database:
    Pictures.PD6 or Pictures.pd7.

    If you are looking for and rename this database to
    something like... OLDPictures.pd6... it forces
    Photo Gallery to create a new instance of the
    the database as soon as it is launched.

    If you decide to try this... know that you
    may lose a few inches and metadata... and your
    Photo gallery will need to be filled again.

    The following article is not about Windows 8
    but would better understand the issue.
