OR Not workign all of a sudden!?

[Komachi]

I go to try and run ANY route, and I get the following error:
No suitable graphics card found.

Unable to create the graphics device.

This program requires pixel shader 1.1 and vertex shader 1.1.



Yet my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD4800... What's going on???

restart windows

Oo That...worked... What's going on with that?

Must be an intermittant problem with XNA, I guess. It's their error message (not OR's).

What worked? The restart? that's a common solution for unexplainable things on windows

Haha yeah, worked like a charm. Prior to the restart, MSTS wasn't working either, and World of Warcraft was telling me it couldn't enable 3d acceleration. Works now though!

Oh, that suggests it was an actual graphics card or driver problem. At least it was easily fixed!

Then you probably had a driver crash and autorestart. Then some services of gpu won't work until full restart. For me DXVA (gpu video decoding acceleration) stops work after graphics driver crash.

There is a joke about this behavior of windows: bill gates going out with friends with a car, then the engine stops, and the friends don't know what is the problem. Then Bill Gates says: "why don't we get out from car, and get in again? Maybe it will solve the issue." (restart)
