| 1110223 | 2010-06-14 09:31:00 | Hi all, This game that my dad plays has suddenly stopped working since I've installed Win 7. It worked for the first few days but then yesterday suddenly came up with a message saying "Could not reset 3D Device, program will now close". Nothing has been changed on the PC, I did a Windows Update that day, maybe something changed then? I reinstalled graphics drivers and it didn't work, I searched the error on Google and found something about Directx, however my Directx (11) is working fine when I checked. Any ideas? Cheers BTW the game is called DDD Pool. Thanks |

| 1110224 | 2010-06-14 09:44:00 | has it got the latest updated drivers from the manufacturers site? | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1110225 | 2010-06-14 09:47:00 | You mean the graphics driver? Yes it is the latest from the ATI website. | zqia014 (13726) | ||
| 1110226 | 2010-06-14 09:50:00 | So what actual card is installed? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 1110227 | 2010-06-14 09:58:00 | how old is the card. it could be old and had it | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1110228 | 2010-06-14 10:09:00 | Actually it's a new PC, i7 2.8Ghz with a HD5850 Card. The game ran perfectly on Win 7 with a X1950 Pro. Ran perfect for the first few days in Win 7, but suddenly stopped working. The only change to the computer I can remember is an update. |

| 1110229 | 2010-06-14 10:44:00 | Is likely that the game he downloaded from here www.download-free-games.com is not compatible with Win7, try running in compatibility mode for XP or earlier, also try turning off Aero effects support.gamecentersolution.com |

| 1110231 | 2010-06-14 20:03:00 | It can be: DX problem GPU driver problem The game is too old therefore it does have a DX problem - in that Win7 is too new for it. |
