sam & max problems with graphic card

[imunoz6]

hello,
I can't play sam & max season 1 (any demo episode) with my pc. The error is "It's impossible to start Direct3d."
In dxsetup, direct3d work's normally. My graphic card is a Hercules Kyro Prophet 4000XT -Video Memory Installed: 32 MB-
The other requeriments seems ok.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

- Directx 9.c is installed
- color quality is set to 32 bit
- the game in isn't compatibility mode
- the video card's drivers are updated

I am not familiar with that video card. Is it capable of playing other 3D games?

I checked out your cards specs, and you should be able to run the games fine. I do think you should check the card's manufacturers site to see if their have been similar complaints, maybe about direct X 9 or other drivers, such as 3rd party drivers...also try deleting your pref.prop and start from scratch graphically.

I've tried to upgrade the graphic card driver. After finishing, the computer started to run slowler and slower. Every time I righ-clicked over the icon tray panel, it wasn't able to open a menu... The game crashes just after start it...fascinating...
I returned to my older drivers. At least, I've my computer operative.
Thanks for all.
