hello,
I just recently purchased a new graphics card (Ati radeon Visiontek hd 2600 pro) becuase my last card burnt up (which was a Nvidia 5500 gx). But when i started up WOW i got an error message saying "world of warcraft is unable to start up 3d acceleration. Please make sure DirectX 9.0c is installed and your video drivers are up-to-date". Now I installed the drivers for the card but when i went to install the updated drivers it said there were none. I also installed DirectX 9.0c. But yet i still am having the problems. There is two things that i have noticed that im having errors with. One is that when i start up my computer i get a a window titled RUNDLL and it says "error loading C:\Windows\system32\gzmrotate.dll this specified module could not be found" Another thing is that when i run Dxdiag and test my Direct3d i get this
Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure)
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code)
Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code)
Im not very good with computers so im not sure if this could be it, i ran this test because ive been doing research on this problem for about 3 weeks now. Also, if i try running another game such as Call of Duty United Offensive my computer will just draw a blank black screen which i eventually have to end the task. So if anyone could please help me on this problem i would greatly appriciate it. Thx Alot
