Hi!

I just downloaded the DB demo to check it out, but when I want to start DB, I get an error:

"System Error: Surfaces could not be created. Failed to create a Primary Surface."

I am running Win2k with a Gforce 3 Ti 200 and DirectX 8.1
Thanks

I was getting junk like that to. I was running GeForce4 bleh bleh.... DirectX 8.1 on Win98. I formatted and reinstalled windows fresh. Fixed it right up. So my advice to you is backup everything to CD or another HD, then formatt. It worked for me rather wonderfully , however that may be the hardway. I just know it works.

I get that error message with my original version, what do you check in Direct X8.1?

Where is the Messiah?
