"could not find any compatible Direct3D devices"

[Uber-dude]

This is the first time I got this when I installed Onimusha 3
I looked at Directx and Video and there's nothing wrong..

Details
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional (5.0, build 2195)

DirectX version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Display:
RADEON 7000 SERIES

No problems found.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 8 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 9 test results: All tests were successful.

Any advice?

All I can suggest is you check the games system requirements. Particularly check for supported videocards.

Right click on an empty part of your desktop and select properties, then settings, then the advanced buton. Click on the adapter tab. There you will see info about your graphics card.

Yes it is in dxdiag. Aprox. Total Memory is the VGA's RAM.

Oh I see, Thank you Howard and wolfram, I was lacking video memory
I'll just buy a new graphics card then It's just too bad I wasted money on the game

AGP or PCI-E?

 

[Uber-dude]

what is AGP or PCI-E?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port) Is the type of slot your graphics card goes into, providing that`s what your mobo has.

PCI-E also known as pci express is the newer slot type. Again it depends on what mobo you have. You cannot put an agp card in a pci-e slot and vise versa.

Check your mobo manual for which type of graphics card slot it has.
