After debug the TGEA in my PC (DualCore, ati 1950), the .exe not running and say me!

"Failed to initialize Direct3D! Make sure you have DirectX 9 installed, and are running a graphics card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1"

Dmitris, I would recommend updating your DirectX and your Ati video drivers to the latest versions. Post back here afterwards and let me know if that helps.

I have the latest drivers of ATI ... and DX

I have make a move! In DxSDK control panel i have change the option from "Use Debug Version of Direct3D9" to "Use Retail Version of Direct3D9", with the Uncheck "Allow Hardware Acceleration". Now the .exe and Debug.exe is running properly.

Why happen this? i dont now but all its ok...

Thanks to you very much Kenneth...
