Are you by any chance trying use the Pixel Shader version of Lemmy's plugin? If so, then the prob is most likely trying to use it with a card without pixel shaders.
I've said this before and I'll say it again RGAR, could you stop advising people to reformat at the first sign of trouble. If you insist, could you at least change the text above your avatar to something a little more apt...
Like this?
Are you using the pixel shader version of Lemmy's D3D8 GFX plugin?
If you are, probably the video card you're using don't have pixel shaders.
IF THE SYMPTOMS ARE ALSO OCCURING WITH THE NON-PIXEL SHADER VERSION OF LEMMY'S D3D 8 GFX PLUGIN, PLEASE READ THE TEXT BELOW.
If you can't play any Direct3D games, that is with a video init failure message, probably you're DirectX installation got corrupted. You will be required to reinstall DirectX. If the symptoms repeat, even when using a compatible version of a GFX plugin, you probably have a Windows installation problem, thus time to reformat the HDD and reinstall Windows, for a clean installation of Windows and reinstall the drivers in the following order:
1. Chipset drivers (also known as motherboard drivers).
2. DirectX 9
3. Video card drivers.
4. Sound card drivers.
FYI: THE ABOVE DRIVER INSTALLATION ORDER LIST ONLY APPLIES TO PCS THAT ARE NOT A COMPAQ, HP, DELL, IBM OR EMACHINES, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY HAVE THEIR OWN SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
