    I downloaded 3DMark06 Free and after two of the videos an error comes up saying "IDirect3D9::CreateDeviceFailed:InvalidCall(D3DERR_INVALIDCALL)" what does that mean and how do i fix it.

    Thanks

    get the newest direct x and update to it, after that it should work. if not then update video card drivers, lastly reinstall 3dmark.
