I just put a new PCI GeForce 4 MX 440 64MB in a new computer, and it keeps giving me errors whenever I use Direct3D. Every program gives something different, but usually it is about the renderer. OpenGL works FAST though.

crappy card....drivers maybe?
Nah, Probably not.Originally posted by RoD

Try updating your detonaters (<- you have those right?) to
the latest stable version, Wich is on the nvidia site. Also
update your DirectX to the latest version.
I got DX to version 8.1, which is what the driver CD came with (I already had it from WinXP) and I am using the latest detonator drivers, the same ones I used last time. I guess I'll have to try getting DX 9 or something.
It's not the card, It's a pretty good card. From Mad Dog Multimedia.
And what exactly did you try to run that used DirectX?
DirectX Diagnostics
Morrowind
Passmark Performance Test
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
it's not all of DX though, DirectDraw works. It's just Direct3D.
I had this problem once, And it was caused by incompatibility
between the videocard and the motherboard. Maybe you should
try a different OS? Yeah,i know, It makes no sense...
I get DX errors whenever I run a certian prog.. **cough** <kazaa> - and when I try to run a game afterwards it will crash back and give me DX errors.
I don't know, why the hell would kza be using DX and then the kicker not be kind enough to relinquinsh DX objects when done?? how inconsiderate or just bad coding.

have u tried direct3d on a game such as half life thats not so card intensive? Maybe u are demanding too much of it? Then again, my 64mb v5 never stumbled in morrowind...
A game might demand too much from a videocard but just
refusing to boot is not the way that it indicates it. Besides
Morrowind's engine is serious $$$$
it's not that it's too demanding for the graphics card, I had a GeForce 2 in it b4 this and it ran everything fine. The problem is Direct3D is not starting up. It can't make a device for it. Here is my error from DX Diagnostics
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
Nothing to do with my graphics card not being powerful enough.
did you not read my earlier post? I said I tried Jedi Knight. Jedi Knight is older than Half Life.have u tried direct3d on a game such as half life thats not so card intensive? Maybe u are demanding too much of it? Then again, my 64mb v5 never stumbled in morrowind...
if the graphics card wasn't compatible with my mobo, I wouldn't be getting video at all, right?I had this problem once, And it was caused by incompatibility
between the videocard and the motherboard.

screen, D3D din't work, Awfull FPS, Spontanieusly rebooted etc.
I got it to work!
For some reason DX was thinking I had my graphics card in PCI slot 2, and I have it in slot 1. So I uninstalled everything for my graphics card and reinstalled and it works again.
Thank you all for your help.
