Help!!!
« on: August 10, 2004, 01:12:18 PM »
Been having problems the last 2 days with my computer.Last night after reinstalling XP i was able to play again.What ever was wrong seemed to be related to some bad video drivers i installed.anyway,last night I logged in and played with some great results.My frame rates were awesome for a change.I even logged in this morning for a bit and it still was ok.NOW i try to log on and i can`t.:( When i click the AH icon on desktop it goes to a white screen as always,like it was logging in.....BUT! Now i get a small window that says the following..."initialization failed with -5mainSN_failed-2".Any ideas how to fix this?:confused:

The first error message indicates a failuer on the part of DirectX to initialize the sound card.  Make sure you load the native sound card drivers as the default Windows drivers will not work under DirectX.
The last error is a failure on the part of the video card/driver to create the graphics window/device under DirectX.  Make sure you have the monitor INF files loaded and the monitor is not the "Default" monitor type in Windows.
