No Direct Draw Hw

Stephen19 · 02-28-2003, 12:43 PM

I have been playing the new OOTP5 game and had imported a OOTP4 league to 5 and was then in the process of importing a player from the database and got an error message and the game shut down.
It's done it before in OOTP4 while importing players as well, but I could always get back in.
Now in OOTP5 it gives me this error message.
NODIRECTDRAWHW

Then says, error initdirectdraw

What can I do to bypass this?
Thanks

I read the message below about video problems and when I toggle off the Direct 3D I can get back into the game.
Now it loaded the first time and worked fine. Not sure why I got the error after I've been playing it already for an hour or so.
I know I have direct X 8.1, but do you need direct X 9?

Wouldn't hurt.
