If you have JSGME in use, run it and click on the "Tasks..." link in the middle. Choose "Export activated mods list to..." and choose "Clipboard" to post it immediately in your next post, or choose "Text file" to copy and paste later.

I was trying to run GWX-Knights Cross, which is giving me the problem. I either get the 3D engine error or, if I change the d3d9.ini [ENGINE] setting for the monitor DisplayWidth and DisplayHeight to match my monitor the game loads but the display is wrong.

The stock version loads, displays, and runs just fine.

Both are installed in their own folders in the C: drive. Neither have any mods installed.
