hi,
i am getting nearly the same error messages from my attempts to open WW from the Start menu...
(using W2K; this didn't happen pre-patch...vers. 1.2c; though i never really fully initialized
the program before installing the patch, i got no immediate error messages.)
perhaps i should have let 1.2c go "full on" before installing the 1.2d patch, just to see how it was
working at that stage on my pc.
first error message:
http://www.5medicines.com/3.via%20START%20menu.1st%20message.jpg
(my setup seems a bit more deficient than yours, as several more items are listed in the error message...)

then, clicking OK, i get a second error message:
http://www.5medicines.com/4.via%20START%20menu.2nd%20message.jpg
(that one is identical to yours)

AS well... when attempting to open WW from the desktop icon placed by the s/w, i get first
this error message (gotta love screen grabs!!)
http://www.5medicines.com/1.clicking%20desktop%20shortcut.1st%20er ror%20message.jpg
but sometimes the parameters are different, as in:
http://www.5medicines.com/5555.jpg

and in:
http://www.5medicines.com/6666.jpg

then when i click Cancel, i get this second error message:
http://www.5medicines.com/2.via%20desktop%20shortcut.selected%20CA NCEL.2nd%20error%20message.jpg

any ideas on what went wrong with my install(s)?

thanks in advance!

p.s. i won't be able to leave the error images above at my server too long.

but probably i will forget about that, and they'll bobble thru cyberspace forever...

Does the Start->Run->dxdiag tool show any errors when you try the 3D demo ?

You could save the diagnostics it produces and attach them to your message, and it might provide some clues.

i assume you mean the 3d demo within dxdiag, the button that says "Test Direct3d"??

(partial, anyway, if you think the rest have the 'clue' i can post them, but
they are kinda lonnnng):

You must register to edit posts, after registering you can edit to your hearts content :)

Otherwise how would the board know it was you editing your own post and not someone else :)

I've taken the liberty of deleting the offending double post however.
