<span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">After returning to EQ2, and doing a fresh install of the game on my desktop,I've getting this error when I push PLAY:D:liveeq2framwordcoredevicessrcDirectX9Render Device.cpp (984):DirectX Error. (D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE)This is on a new install of XP with SP2 and a new Install of EQ2 EoF All-in-One DVD (with the CRC error in KoS, unchecked for install)I have:Athlon XP 3000+, 2.2GhzKT600-8237 MotherboardRADEON 9250/9200 Series AGP (0x5961)DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2I've searched the forums for the last few weeks and see this problem hasbeen posted on since about Feb of 2005. Many people have postedsuggestions that some people reported it fixed, and other peoplereported it didn't fix anything.Is there a _definitive_ solution to this issue? On 09/21/2005 20:00:16, TSR-Cory S posted, and TSR-RonC bumped, a long solution that entails uninstalling, </span><span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">stopping halfway through an install, </span><span style="font-size: small;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">wiping (using a program that's no longer free), reinstalling, and switching to a previous program to finish that install.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...?topic_id=32182" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...?topic_id=32182</a>Yet the 3rd post, by VatesSacer, (the first user to reply) says it did not fix his setup. Eldorin, Chantryia & sojero say it worked for them.TSR-NashK says "That works mostly for everybody." Trebjan, Seraphim, SpineDoc, say it did not work.Morack, posts he found his solution in another thread.=========4 did not fix, 3 did fix, and 1 undecided. That's less than 50% success if you just sampling the first 15 posts on my page. About 50% of the posts in the 6-pages of the thread show that the suggestion, while participially successful did _not_ fix the issues. Now it's Aug. 2007, 2 years after that post, and 2.5 years since 02/08/2005 TheEnd123 posted:<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=25344" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...344</a>02/13/2007 Metran posts related symptoms,<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=347224�" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...24�</a> 08/14/2007 hammerclaw2007 on with his nVidia card<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=30&topic_id=33477" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...;topic_id=33477</a> .By my count, we're going on 3 years since users reported these and related errors, and this issue is still around?
