I did a complete reinstall of everything (including Windows, since I had other problems as well) and installed the Detonator Drivers and DirectX 9.0b and it still won't work.
The error I get is: Direct3D failed to initialize your HAL-Device. Make sure you have a properly configured 3D Graphics card compatible with Direct3D 6.0.
But when I check Direct3D with dxdiag.exe, I get the following mistakes:
(I translated them myself, because my operating system is Dutch)
Testresultaten van Direct3D 7: Fout bij stap 8 (Bezig met maken van 3D-apparaat): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Algemene fout)

I tried another plugin (Glide64 or something like that), but that doesn't work either...
I know my graphics card isn't top of the line, but it should be able to use Direct 3D, it could do that before I installed the new nVidia drivers.
Or do I have to enable Direct 3D one way or the other?
