First, ensure your graphics card supports this and you have the latest drivers installed.

Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed. You can find it by doing a google search. It is free.

Finally,
Click Here

1. Go to the link
2. Download The 3D Analyzer
3. Extract the files to any directory
4. Open 3DAnalyze.exe
5. Press the big SELECT button
6. Find your gamename.exe (or whatever it might be named in your game CD)
7. Select it
8. Under Directx 8.1 and 9.0 options - > Hardware Limits (cap bits) Check off emulate pixel shader caps
9. Hit run

Hope that helps! Should you have any further questions, please feel free to post them here.

Hi I have a Combat Wings game that loads fine, the intro video plays just fine, but then it drops out of the game and gives me an error message. "d3d_error_c"

Try updating your directX file.

Hello susan_eric,

Yes your card altho ok is not compatible with the game. You can try installing the latest drivers for your card and it may work but highly unlikely.

Sorry about your luck, thank you for choosing Fixya!
