    DirectX error message. What does this mean??

    When trying to test AGP texture under DirectX 8 I obtain the following:
    AGP texturing test results: Failure at step 41 (Creating AGP Surface): HRESULT = 0x8876017c (unknown error)
    What the hell is that??

    ErrOR on DX

    THAN YOU .
    I'll read that article later.
    I hope you are right about the drivers.I've posted a problem under no AGP on New ALL IN WONDER RADEON some days AGO.
    I was not able to get AGP memory to register.
    Now I have it but IT will not run,....... I also thought About the drivers been the reason becuse I installed the First ATI drivers which are meant for X7 but I'm still running DX8.
    Can you uninstall DX8???

    Yes you can

    Try a search on google for "directX uninstaller"

    There are several freeware programs for uninstalling DX8

    Sorry, don't have a straight link

    Hope this helps

    About that link...,

    Thanks again for that tip,for sure Mcrosoft is the place to dig for this kind of info now..
    I was taking a look at that article and I don't think it applies to this problem,I did not find any rellation in the error codes.
    I belive that the error code I get is correctly reported and I suspect that is about using DX7 drives with DX8, but again I'm guessing ,I could be wrong ....What the F$%^ do I know??
    I'll kepp you posted Thanks.
