After I installed DX 8.1, I noticed a horrible problem when running the diagnostics. Everytime I tried to run the Direct3D tests, it always failed during the DX8 interface test with the following message:
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
This is a GeForce3 Ti 200 from Gainward, it damn well better have DX8 3D availiable on it! Is anyone else having this problem or know how to deal with it? I got rid of ExpertTOOL after reading that it was causing problems, and I've had this problem with both the qualified drivers and nVidia's latest. The DXInfo program that came with experttool also reported me as having D3D version 7, which might also explain why this is happening. I've tried searching through the MSKB and found nothing there. For clarity, my rig is as follows:
Athlon XP 1.4GHz
ECS K7S5A
Gainward Geforce3 Ti 200 Golden Sample
Win98SE
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
