Direct x error?

[JoMaMaz]

Hello

Everytime I try to change any video settings, it crashes and here is the error I get when I start the game back up again:

"DirectX Error

DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error.
Check the readme for possible solutions."

I didn't see much there so I thought I'd post here lol.

My hardware:
AMD 2.2ghz 4400+ x2
7800GTX 512mb
2gb RAM

Directx to do with sound i think?

It could be possible that the CoD4 setup is correctly updating your PC's version of DX.

Im really not sure where to go from there though.

Same error. Happens any time I try to change the resolution. Found multiple reports of this with CoD2, and the answer was re-install. Got to be something else, just haven't found it yet.

Very similar hardware

AMD X2 4400+ @ 2.4Ghz
2GB RAM
7900 GTX
Audigy 2 ZS

Not sure exactly why...but I can now adjust all of my settings lol. I played the game at max on 1280x1024, not bad looking. I made sure that 'dual cards' was set to no, I think it was before, but yeah, otherwise, I don't really have an explanation.

If you can change your settings, but not your rez, try this thread:

I used it last night to at least play the game a higher rez.
