[quote:818bb]You need:

- The latest patch for the game (1.45?)

(Fixed: When no display adapter is selected in preferences and no adapter is recognized, select the first one. This resolves the "Cannot create 3D device: Adapter -1" error message.)

- Recent nVidia dirvers

- Recent DirectX version (8.0 at least)[/quote:818bb]

i have all them, installed apart from i don't have the latest patch because its only a demo, but i do have the latest demo released...

[quote:818bb]And:

This is due to your graphics card. You must ensure that your graphics card is one of the supported chipsets as detailed on the box and that it has at least 16Mb of memory.

If this is the case then it may be that some DirectX features have been disabled.

Run DxDiag.exe, by clicking on the Windows Start Button, selecting Run and entering "Dxdiag" in the open box.

Now click on the Display tab. In the centre of the screen there is a section called DirectX features. Below there, you should have Direct3D and Direct Draw 'Acceleration Enabled'. If it says 'Acceleration Disabled' click on the button called Enable. If it says No Acceleration Available, then go to Control Panel - System - Performance and make sure that 'Hardware Acceleration' is set to full. Then restart your PC and run DxDiag again and check that both Direct Draw and Direct 3D say 'Acceleration Enabled'.

If the problem persists and you do have a supported graphics card, ensure that you have the latest drivers for this card.

If you are only experiencing this problem after installing the upgrade, try selecting the 'Auto-Detect' option from the Operation Flashpoint Preferences program.[/quote:818bb]

everything was already enabled....
