DirectX 8.1 under 2K Server
This is a discussion about DirectX 8.1 under 2K Server in the Windows Games category; Whenever I try and run a DirectX game, I get an error telling me that windows can't initialise DirectX. If I run the Direct3D test in dxdiag, I get the following error: Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code) I'm running a 1.

I'm running a 1.2Gig Athlon with a 64Mb GF2 MX (Det 29.42) and 256Mb RAM. 2K Server with SP2 and DX8.1 for 2K.
Any ideas?

Have you run the AMD/AGP patch for Win2k?

Try that and then reboot.

That shouldnt prevent it initialising DX though, just sounds like its not installed correctly !?!?
I take it youve tried reinstalling 8.1?

Several times. I've also reinstalled the det drivers twice.
Try up[censored] the chipset drivers. Reinstall the AGP part.
