Once in a while when I try to load up a game, I get an error that says 'Unable to initialize DirectDraw.' I can restart my computer and it works, but I'm wondering what's causing the error.
When I go into DirectX Diagnostic and test DirectDraw, it does the first two steps fine, but at the third I get an error with these results: DirectDraw test results: Failure at step 17 (SetDisplayMode to 640x480x16): HRESULT = 0x80004001 (Not implemented)
Naturally, I have no idea what any of that actually means.
I have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, 128MB. Omega drivers 2.6.71. It happened a lot more with the Dell drivers. When I switched to Omega, it was very rare, but still is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks.
