DRGrim 2004-06-01 11:49:49 | When I try to run the viewresults.exe program it exits before it's finished loading and the following line is put into the dderr.log file: "DirectDraw error 80070057 @ makebank - creating shad" The problem just started happening recently (it may have been when I upgraded the client, but I'm not sure) and doesn't seem to be limited to one particular version of the client. Any idea what's going on? Thanks. |
DRGrim 2004-06-01 11:55:16 | On a whim, I tried to run the graphical version of the client and the same thing happens. |
AySz88 2004-06-01 14:43:08 | Try updating your Direct X installation (search on Google). If there are still problems, run dxdiag from Start --> Run and go through each each pane, testing to see if there are any problems. |
DRGrim 2004-06-01 19:26:23 | I've got the latest version of Direct X installed, and my computer passes all of the tests in dxdiag. Thanks for the help though. Any other suggestions? |
[TA]z 2004-06-01 23:03:56 | my next guess would be video card... what card are you running in the machine and on what operating system? try updating your video drivers and see how it goes |
Stephen Brooks 2004-06-02 01:27:49 | The line that caused that error is a very standard DirectDraw surface-creation command. Check first that config.txt specifies a resolution that your monitor can cope with. |
DRGrim 2004-06-02 04:51:02 | Thank you! That was it. I must have made a typo with regard to the resolution. Thanks again! |
