Im not expert on 3D Mark, but i`d say the the second game test has a corrupted texture file.

Try doing this.
1) Uninstall 3D Mark
2) Delete the directory for it as well, presumably in program files.
3) Delete any 3D mark, Futuremark registary keys. Backup the reg first.
4) Delete the contents of c:\windows\temp. asuming the windows is on C:
5) Delete the contents of c:\temp.
6) Re-install 3D Mark.

Hope this helps

Playing with new drivers?
Did it work with your old ones?
If so, use them, then try the next latest set when they get released.

Sometimes things like that just happen. They fix themselves.
2 weeks ago, i had some problem with my Audigy Drivers not working right, and spent two days trying to fix it.
By the 3rd day, i was just about to see if Creative Labs had put wings on to the card, when suddenly, it started working again, the driver troubles went away.
So it was fixed, but i dont know how i fixed it.
Ah well sh1t happens!!!

Im not sure what the problem was, but I didnt have the SE installed before, with the SE it works fine, maybe a bug that just needed patched or something.

If you are now running DX9, then that might be the reason for the error. The earlyier versions of 3DMark2001 wernt compatible with DX9.

I get errors with the sound test.

3DMark2000 and 2001 work fine, as does everything else on my system.

My guess is that 3DMark2003 is just buggy.

Probably. I hav`nt tryed 3D Mark 2003 yet.
Its over 100mb in size. Not very 56k modem friendly.
So i`ll wait till its on the PC Zone Cover DVD(i have a subscription), or until i get ADSL in a few months time. Whichever comes first.
