Device failure in windows xp home
Laflin:
I've been running EAW on XP Pro and DX9 with no problems...
zaniwhoop2:
Try sytem restore to pre DX9 (if possible)
Uninstall drivers
Reboot
Install DX9
Reboot
Install Drivers
That might work. I have had device failures on my video card before (never the Radeon 9700 though, only the Kyro 2), but only with UT2K3. Whenever I got a device failure, it was after I had to restart the computer after it locked up. I don't have SFC3, but SFC2 works just fine.

I don't understand...Does the game just crash and you end up back at your desktop?...Do you play for a bit,then it crashes?
My game crashes as well in single player (says that I have an EAX problem...I REALLY dont think I have a problem)
Sometimes I crash fast..Other times it takes an hour or so.
In any event..Who knows?...Well...I do know 1 group of people that know

Are you using any soundblaster equipment on your system? If so, then check out the Soundblaster EAX page.. they may have a solution to your problem...

It sounds almost as if you are being forced inot running some sort of safe mode...
Are you using an LCD monitor by any chance. I've heard of a similar problem on some of those but no solutions yet. I don't know what's causing it.
Also, if you aren't getting any correlation between the catalyst 3.0 drivers, and the computer games and devices, that could definately be a serious problem, but in that case I'd expect games like JK2 (which require OpenGL) to cease completely. Perhaps a glitch in someway that they are being handled? Check the various forums for ATI to see if there are any others wh mya have similar problems as you.

i have got an LCD moniter, but i can run SFC 2 Orion Pirates, i have got another pc that it works on but i'd rather play it on this one
