What is a directx device?

I tried to play a game that I downloaded, but when I play a message says that I need a device "DirectX". What is a DirectX device?

Need For Speed World.

Do you have otherwise?

If so - I suggest you figure out what audio device what video device you have and visit the web page of the manufacturer for each. Download and install the software and specific drivers for each device and each restart.  Then try to reinstall the game.

  • 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!

  • 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.
    }

    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.

  • What is "Base system device"?

    After working with my laptop for more than two years, I'm having more and more problems, but the strangest thing is that all of a sudden he says he finds a new material called device base system, which must be installed.

    I have no idea what to know where to find the software or if I need to install it at all. Can someone please give me some advice here?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, could you please post you name of the laptop?

    Second: did you install the operating system from the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    This image contains drivers together and need the tools and after the installation of the operating system from the recovery CD should no unknown device appears in Device Manager

    PS: Base system device is usually the SD card controller.

  • What is that unknown device appears in Device Manager

    Hi guys, I have a camera in my driver manager that is displayed as "Unknown device" in the "other devices" section and I have no idea what device it is if I can update the driver! I tried troubleshooting my PC, but it's not helping! Please I need your help because I do not want to affect the performance of my PC. Uses a series of PC HP mini 110-3800 with Windows 7 starter installed! Thank you.

    If this is relevant, you should see an event ID 7026 Source; Service Control Manager Event Viewer. Description:
    The next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

    Feature: GIVING - it was because of a product of Viper (GFI) being uninstalled. Apparently, it deletes all the registry keys and it keeps trying to start a driver that does not exist. You can remove the registry keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SBRE
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SBRE

    If you cannot delete a key, right-click on that key and click permissions, then click on advanced, then go to the owner and you add as an owner. Then you should be able to remove the key

    Go deeper, I think that the device has a connection with a mobile phone. I found references to the UAG and a driver of adfs. This is something that has been or is unsupported.

    What happens if you uninstall the device?

  • Tap to choose what happens with this device.

    I pressed accidentally on open pictures (or something like that) opens automatically whenever I insert my cameras SD card.   But I don't want the pictures or any other program to run whenever I have install my card.
    How do I get back to let the little icon displays asking me what I want to do, or how to prevent other programs to open every time?

  • identify what vmdk running a device specific guest OS.

    Hello

    first. If I'm in the wrong discussion group please tell me the right pair.

    I'm trying to find a way to determine that a record player on what vmdk specific guest OS.

    example: on my Centos virtual, I get a problem with/dev/sda device.

    the OS is in/var/messages attempts or abends.

    I would like to know in what xxxx.vmdk this unit is included in order to know

    What data store / physical drive might have a problem.

    in the simplest configuration:

    vsphere I can browse data warehouses and get all the (vmdk) files that belong to a virtual machine and their size.

    via perl or vSphere GUI scripts. I see that my vm includes 2 hard drives, disk 1 and disk 2

    guest OS, I can get the free disks and the definition of the partition. (df - k, sfdisk..)

    I see two devices/dev/sda and/dev/sdb.

    is there a tool (linux or vmware) able to map "/ dev/sdxxx" in the guest to "xxxx.vmdk" in the ESX operating system.  ?

    as far as I understood from the research of community discussion are that this kind of information is not just available via the API

    due to the needs of security to isolate between the ESX and the BONE asked.

    any suggestions?

    Best regards

    If you have VMware Tools running, you can get the drives in the OS space consumed/etc and then you can use a script logic to map back to the VMDK (s).

    Here is a script of health report to extract information about the use of the disc comments among other things to give you an idea of how this can be done" VMware vSphere Health Check Report v5.1.0.

    Specifically, you'll want to watch guestInfo, once again, this information is only available if you are running VMware tools and then you can get list of the VMDK (s) of the virtual machine is running and compare.

  • What version of directx do I really short?

    I would like to run the latest version of directx, but I get the variable information. When I check my Intel display properties, it says that I am under the version of directx 10. When I check the dxdiag, it says I'm under directx 11 version. Who is the real version? Should not be the same?

    I'm assuming that your machine uses the older Intel GMA graphics, which was a chip on the motherboard.

    The new graphics Intel HD is integrated into the cpu and is much more capable (especially HD4000 and higher).

    There are a number of recent games which can be limited to DX10 or 11, but these are a little

    rare (Just Cause 2 is only DX10). These games (commonly known as AAA securities) have high demands.

    and your Intel graphics card would struggle to operate at all, even using only DX9.

    The vast majority of games that use DX 10 and 11 would be using DX9 by default. DX10 or 11 effects are options selected in the games setting menus. The only way to implement the DX10/11 effects without running the game in

    a slideshow would be to lower the other most important graphics settings.

    I say more important because the DX10/11 effects are more icing on the cake - more agreeable, smoke and similar light

    subtle effects.

    -There is no way to upgrade all of the graphics (dedicated card or built-in) to higher levels of DX, and

    There is no way to upgrade integrated graphics chipsets. They are mounted to the motherboard.

    If it is a PC, you should be able to install a dedicated graphics card, but the power supply must be

    powerful enough. The age and capacity of other components must be taken into account.

    Laptops - no hope.

    This just sounds like your Internet is cut, not a Firefox problem.

    But I'd still Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
