Failed to Initialize D3D 9 Device
When ever i try to play Firefall or just about any other game i get an error that says "Failed to Initialize D3D 9 Device (E_INVALIDARG). Check if DirectX installed correctly." I have tried to reinstall DirectX which does not help. The only thing that fixes it is to uninstall Display Link 7.3M1
Any idea's? I am kind of getting tired of having to uninstall display link to play a game for a couple hours then reinstall it to use my extra monitors for work. |

Hi,
Stopping the DisplayLinkManager service before gaming might be an option. Let me know if this works. Thanks, James |

Hi,
OK, please attach the logs as described here: http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=269 Also let me know what mode your displays are in (Extend/Mirror/Set as Main Monitor). Thanks, James |

I am using extended display.
I have the zip file. The page says to send it to you but doesn't list an address. So it is attached to this post. |

Hi,
Can you update the Intel graphics driver to the latest available? Also what other Games display the same error message? Thanks, James |

I updated it and now i am getting a new error. "Failed to initialize redhanded(error=0xd9172371)..."
League of Legends wasn't working last time i tried it either. I just tried it but it has a large patch i will have to do first. So will test once it finishes. Bobby |

After another restart it went back to the original error message.
