TankDawg Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Well, just installed it. PC running really well. Other games look great. But..... When I go through my video options set up for CM, CM crashes and I get: "Program Error Could Not Initialize Direct3D Graphics" I can play the game in 640x800, but the whole reason I got the card was to run it in higher resolutions. Can anyone help? Thanks, ------------------ Jeff Newell TankDawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Maybe you need to delete or move your Pref file out of cmbo. As you have a new card you may need to redo the pref file thingy. Hope you understand what i mean geoff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankDawg Posted January 13, 2001 Author Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hi Thanks, Yes I do understand. I did do that. I start from scratch, but everytime after about the 5th option, i click "skip to next" and I get the error message. Weird. ------------------ Jeff Newell TankDawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 Maybe it's a driver issue. Check which drivers work best with your card and CM Sorry i can't help much as i have a V5 Yes I do understand. I did do that. I start from scratch, but everytime after about the 5th option, i click "skip to next" and I get the error message Have you tried not skipping to next and just use what it gives you first, as a tester to see how it runs ?

TankDawg Posted January 13, 2001 Author Share Posted January 13, 2001 Hi Cubes, Yes, it does work in the lower resolutions. ------------------ Jeff Newell TankDawg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted January 13, 2001 Share Posted January 13, 2001 What is your current desktop resolution ? What's the maximum resolution that CM allows you to select ? What was your previous video card ? Did you perform an uninstall of the previous video drivers ? Which version of DirectX are you running and what driver version are you using for the new Prophet II ? Madmatt is using (or highly recommends) the NVidia Reference drivers 6.31. Anything higher than that version may be a bit buggy. Although I really won't think it would affect CM's resolution selection... what monitor does Windows say you have (look in the Device Manager or the Display control panel) ? Most PC users will probably see "Plug and Play" or "Default" as the monitor type. If there is an INF file for your monitor you may want to try it out. I'm guessing that it will most likely be the software for your previous video card that may be causing your problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted January 14, 2001 Share Posted January 14, 2001 Have you tried changing your desk top resolution to the same size you want to use in CM. Geoff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
