Hi DOM107 i have the same problem, look at the ‘BugReport’.

Hello,

I put this in this section, because it could be an ATI driver problem (not a 3DC bug)… to be confirmed.
Today, with 3DC 7.0.1.2 (Catalyst 6.10), I woke the PC from hibernation and I couldn’t start 3DC until I restarted Windows XP.
Before going into hibernation, 3DC was used and closed.

I had the following popups:
3 times ‘Unable to initialize Direct3D…’
and then ‘Unable to configure DirectX. Please ensure that the most recent version of directX is installed, …’

In the 3DC log file, there is :
09/04/2007 | 16:49:40 | Direct3D Initialized
09/04/2007 | 16:50:14 | Error #: -2147221503 Error Description: Unable to Configure DirectX. Please ensure that the most recent version of DirectX is installed, and that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Error Location:

Now that Windows is restarted, 3DC starts properly.

I think it is because graphics card memory wasn’t released properly. It could be a 3DC bug. I’ll be looking at this in the next while on a semi-related issue.

I have this error but no going into hibernation
running vista home premium 32bit
latest drivers and directx

radeon mobility x1600 vid card

if you are already aware please disreguard
