Subject: [modeleng] Direct Error


Gents,
I know this isn't quite model engineering but it is spoiling my model 
engineering time so I'm prepared to take the wrap.

My son has installed a game on his lap top [pentium dual core, tons of 
memory and so on so forth]  When he tried to play the game all he gets is 
the report DIRECT 3D ERROR CREATE DEVICE FAILED.

The game when istalled on my machine [pentium 4 but only a 32meg graphics 
card gives the same error report.

Anyone got any ideas.

Ill now go and beat myself for posting an off topic post.

sideways, Champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a
Ride!"
