Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Problems with dual client on windows xp...
|
This is the first time I have ever used dual client since the new turbine login system took over. Anyway, I can log in two accounts fine and operate on both for a little while...but after some alt tabbing the 2nd one that I opened will eventually crash and I will get the following error message:
Game Error
Could not initialize Direct3D. Please ensure that DirectX 9.0 or higher is installed.
Of course I have dx9 installed etc.
My PC is not terrible either.
C2D 2.4ghz
3gb memory
7600gt
Anyone know of some possible fixes?

I have similiar issues on Win2k, you'll probably NOT like my answer tho.
REFORMAT, REINSTALL. (it worked for me).
I actually upgraded my video card and changed to XP at the same time, What I was able to deduce was it was EITHER something in the drivers or DX *OR* the amount of video memory that was causing the issue. Since I knew I wanted to changed video cards anyways I got a new HD, XP and the video card. Then I installed the new HD video card and put down a fresh XP install and I *NEVER* see that error anymore ( the old video card was had a mere 64 megs of memory, new one has 512 megs, it's the last one this system will ever see). Oh I had to put in a beefier power supply to allow the card to run as well, shrugs.
I was never real sure if it was the software side or the card itself causing it, just happy I never see it anymore :^)
If you have a spare HD you can try a fresh XP install on, that might be the thing to do first.
You don't say how much memory your card has but assume it's more than mine had.
