Allo everybody!

I recently got the new version of Dolphin..

BUT.... everytime I run it a little window pops up saying something along the lines of: "Direct3D Device creation failed!"

It then proceeds to shut itself down.

What does this mean? I've tried installing Direct3D...but that didn't seem to work.

Anyone know whats the matter here? ANyone? :(

I guess you have selectet the software accereleted mode by the device settings!
You can find em in the GFX settings... Just switch to Hardware (HAL) mode!
Hope that i have help!

Nope.... didn't change a thing.

The message still pops up and proceeds to shut the program down.

It's very frustrating! :angry:

Hmm... You'll need to wait a little while for those.

I'm not the expert on this computer, it's my fathers.

He lent it to me to see how I like using Windows XP, I'll have to ask him all the specs. So wait a little while and they'll come.

Same goes for the screenshot, I'm not sure if he wants me doing that on here.

Awaiting approval. :borg:

Click to expand...
Go to the start menu, then run. Run 'msinfo32' and it'll give you some info. You can also find out what video card you have by going to hardware, then display.

Did you try changing the boot bios before this problem occured? If so, uninstall and reinstall, no not edit this function.
