I could use a little help.

Guys I'm stuck and could use some help.
I'm getting this error every time I try to launch my game. “can not initialize 3D engine”, the only option I get is to click “OK” this stops the game loading. Up until this, the game has been running flawlessly. I’ve tried everything I can think of, a search of the forums turned-up this “SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b”, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

slow your refresh rate down. example most monitors will run 120hz when using 800 x 600 but the game will only allow 85hz the higher the resolution the lower you must go

Hogan,
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried setting my resolution to 1024 X 768 and refresh rate to 60Hz, I tried re-booting at those settings No luck. I’m starting to think it might be a video driver issue. Last night I installed the latest ATI drivers from VisionTek. The game work fine right after that, but tonight......no luck. Could it be a CCC conflict?

Seth,
Thanks for the greetings,
I been lurking around for a while, it seems like a good community.
I re-installed the old drivers, and it all loads fine now. We’ll see what tomorrow brings, it’s to late for me to do more. *sight*
