OV10stang Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) I have an Asus N80VN-X5, Vista 64bit, 4 gigs ram, 9650mGT graphics. I installed the 179.48 driver from here and all seemed good. Tried to run 3dmark06 and got this error: IDirect3DDevice9::Present failed: Device lost (D3DERR_DEVICELOST) I went back to the original driver and still got the same error msg when trying to run 3dmark06. I then started closing programs one at a time until I got 3dmark to successfully launch. Turns out that the new Skype was the culprit. I then messed around with Skype and found that when I changed "visual style of the window" from "Skype" to "classic windows" it cured the problem. I duplicated the error everytime I changed that setting in Skype. Anyone else have this problem?

OV10stang Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Never mind..... I just found the reason at this site: Skype Seems like the new drivers just made this Skype issue rear it's ugly head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
