Satellite M115-S3094: Error message - Can't create a D3D device

Hi,
I accidently deleted a graphics card driver but managed to get it back, but before i deleted it i used to play the game pkr (3d poker) but now when i load it, it comes up with an error saying "Could not initialize client - Can't create a D3D device - -2005530516, -".
Also all my folders on my desktop don't appear. The only way i can get this up on screen is by pressing the keys ctrl + alt and delete and then typing in desktop.
All this started to happen when i tried to connect my laptop to the television.
I am using Windows XP media center. It's a a Toshiba Satellite M115-s3094.
Can anyone please help as it's driving me mad as i am very close to smashing the laptop in frustration.
I don't know the driver its using as all it says is unknown. If anyone can help or even give me an idea on how to fix this then i would be very grateful.
Cheers for your time.

Hi
Sounds a little bit like the Direct3D were not enabled in you graphic settings.
Please start the DirectX using the command dxdiag and enable all 3D settings.
Furthermore it would be advisable to remove the installed 3D poker game and then to reinstall it again. This should help to reconfigure the game graphic settings which are necessary to run the game properly.
Good luck

  • Fetch error message: Can't create directory

    Hi again--Help!!
    I have my whole site fixed of "errant" characters and ??? and it is ready to upload to a GoDaddy host.. And after turning off "Translate ISO characters" in the Fetch preferences, I now get this message:
    "Server response: Can't create directory: File exists."
    Woe is me, what can be done? Can be so kind as to help me again?? Thanks so much...

    Just a note to say that I figured out the problem myself. It was a "space" in front of the named web pages in the iWeb list. You have to make sure there are no spaces like that or it will not publish properly! Everything is up and running now...Whew.

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?

  • Error message "Can't open the illustration." - HELP

    I work for a small company in the product development area and we use AI every day, all day. We work on PCs (windows 7) in AI CS6 design standard.
    About a week and a half ago, I got the error message "Can't open the illustration." I then proceeded to recreate my file that was lost, once saved and closed, the same error message popped up after trying to reopen. The file was recreated by another person, and the same error message occurred. This has now happened to 5 of my files and a handful of files created by coworkers.
    The error seems to be completely random, as we have been able to create other files without a glitch. The other odd thing, is that the one person who uses a mac in our creative department was able to open our 'lost' files as single pages on her AI CS4.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    We have tried both saving the files on our company server and on our individual desktops - neither of which will open the files.
    Fonts are ok - they are all created and saved in CS6.
    Printers, I believe are all correctly set up.
    We tried a complete reinstall on one PC - still running into the same random files ending up 'lost' with the same error message.
    Originally, the cs6 design standards (6 licenses total) were loaded to the server/shared drive and then downloaded onto each PC from there - we believe this may have something to do with the corruption, but this problem has just begun within the last month and the programs were all downloaded over 6 months ago.

  • Need drivers for Satellite M115-s3094

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite M115-s3094, I had problems with my OS which was Windows XP MCE but I could not fix it. So I got fed up and loaded in windows XP Professional, but a lot of my drivers have gone.
    The drivers I require are for Ethernet controller, network controller, PCI device, flash memory, SM bus controller, USB controller, video controller....plus I have no sound. It is an Intel centrino duo...as you can see I am missing a lot of drivers.
    Could anyone tell me how can I find out what kind of drivers I need and where do I get them from? Would Win XP SP2 installation help to install any of these drivers?
    Any help at all would be very much appreciated...
    Thanks to all..

    I have the same problem. I just need the drivers for the Ethernet controller and PCI device. I assume that the PCI device is the wireless card.
    I have tried all of the drivers on the Toshiba website, but none seem to work.
    Please help us out.

  • HT4623 Please help I I have updated pc win 8, update itunes and i can open and access all in icould but my reminders will not load error message can't load reminders

    I can not open my reminders in icloud, error message can't load reminders.  Have hp win 8 and all has been fine until today for over a year. win updates are done and itune updates done, what should I do?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I can't update itunes. I get error message can't find "itunes.msi". What can I do?

    What can I do to download updated itunes. I get error message can't locate "itunes.msi." folder.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

    I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
