I'm having difficulty getting my copy of RF-9 to run. It begins to load (looks like it gets bout 2/3 loaded the gets an error box:
Error: D3DERR_INVALID Call
File: DXEffect.cpp
Line: 850
With an "OK or "Cancel" option.
If I click "OK"
I get the exact same error but now on Line 910
If I click the error goes back to line: 850
I have tried numerous things with my system to resolve the problem but so far no luck.
I'm running it on a Dell XPS8700 system that is about 5 years old. It is a high speed large memory system that at the time of purchase I was using to develop database systems, so the graphics are not high end at all. I have checked with Dell on any updates and downloaded and installed the only one they recommended. It was a recent date stamp so I doubted it would help and it didn't.
I also have a recently purchased Dell laptop computer and after reading the RF-9 knowledge base I found I am allowed to load the simulator on two different machines. The load went well and the program works very well. My wife and I have been able to crash our planes several times. The graphics while fully acceptable are very small and the planes disappear often so we would very much like to get our main system up and running. I could really use some information on what the siulator is attempting to do when it errors out, this would help me to get at the problem and get it corrected.
BTW: both systems have been successfully registered and updated. Additionally I at first thought that the error was caused by my main system having weak video/graphiocs, but the laptop has the same driver at the same rev level, so now I doubting that a little. It still might be true, but I sure could use some confirmation.
Thanks, Mike
