Crashes Say GTAIV FATAL ERROR "unable To Create Depth Render Target"
Mar 2, 2010
I was tweaking my graphics card with Nervia and i was changing some options and now when i go into GTAIV it crashes say GTAIV FATAL ERROR "unable to create depth render target. please reinstall DriectX or install the latest video card drivers" i have tried switching everything to the defaults and i uninstalled it. i have updated my Direct X to the latest version and i am downloading the latest grapics drivers from Nvida
My cursor (Logitech cordless optical trackman, setpoint 4.8, Vista 64-bit, Maxthon 2) has been acting quite crazy on occasion (not always). It will jump from an intended target to another target that is to its left. Also, when brought to a yes/no button and left clicked, nothing happens. Moving the cursor ever so slightly causes it to jump left at a 45 degree angle. Bringing cursor back to target and left clicking, now works. Ans, sometimes icons in my tackbar don't open on the first click, they need a second click. Happens mostly in my browser, but also happens elsewhere. This odd behavior may have started when I updated my Nvidia card. Thinking here is that Setpoint 4.8 did quite connect with the updated Nvidia. So, I tried to download and install the newest setpoint, 6.0. During instillation got the alert that "You are running a 32-bit installer in a 64-bit OS, please run correct installer." Well, my Windows Installer is 4.5, but I can't tell if it is or isn't for 64 bit. And to add fuel tot he fire, Logitech tells me that the instillation of the Setpoint application should be done by the logitech installer.
I just tried to fresh install Vista on a BRAND NEW hard drive and this is what i get........BSOD: Stop: c000021a [Fatal Error]...i tried an install before this got an error message and rebooted. FRESH HARD DRIVE. What is wrong? Anyone know? Note: Just got a Stop: 0x00000050 error =(...i'm really starting to hate vista and all it stands for. Non-stop problems!
We keep getting a Fatal Error when installing the HP wireless printer.We are working with the CD that HP supplied specially for Vista. The install gets close to finishing that then we get the message of a Fatal Error. Does anyone have a solution to this, or help so that we can get the printer and software loaded up and working?
I keep getting the error of c00021a fatal system error. which cause me to shut the comptuer down for 5-10 minutes then insert my vista install disk and run the repair and restart causing me 20-30 minutes of down time. The error seems to trigger at high memory usage usually when I play games like CS:s and it makes the game ice up and not load after 10-20 minutes.
A) Will a reimage completely cleaning off the hard drive solve this
B) If so how do I do it from a vista upgrade disk
C) Should I just get a new system (AMD 939 3800+ 2gb ddr400) that is a e8400 or q6600 system for a few hundred?
D) Alternative solutions
The system runs fine when i'm just internet surfing/iming etc but as soon as I load a game it goes crazy and its not just CS:s any game or high memory usage (photoshop) just trashes the system.
I have tried Uninstalling it via add/remove programs. It says it was completely removed. I then tried to install Trend Micro, however when that runs we get an error message that says "a fatal windows error has occured please restart your computer and try again"
Then from searching thru this forum I found out about the Norton Removal tool. We downloaded and ran that and it found other things to remove. Once it was completed we tried to install Trend Micro again but still get the same error message. At this time we are running a full system restore to bring the Laptop back to out of the box condition. Has anyone had this happen before, and are there any steps I am missing?
I have some problem with som games in first decade red allert 2 gets "fatal string error" at start and quits tiberian sun and generals doesn?t recognize the cd. I?m running windows vista home premium swedish version.
I'm trying to partition drive C but it won't let me. New laptop is Toshiba Satellite and had the store configure it for me since I'm new to Vista.
1. Through Disk Management, I shrink drive C and now have an unallocated space of 51G.
2. From the unallocated space, I create a new simple volume. It goes through the Wizard, but then I get the following error message: "The attempted operation is invalid. Either the parameters specified are invalid or the operation cannot be completed on the selected object."
3. The contour of the unallocated space is highlighted in black instead of green. Is that an indication of something? And shouldn't it say: Free space instead of unallocated? Additional info:.....
I'm running Vista Sp1 and am frequently using VPN connections to our clients. All of a sudden, I'm unable to create a VPN connection. If I look in Event Viewer under administrative events, I read the following message: 'The initial Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol request could not be successfully sent to the server. This can be due to network connectivity issues or certificate (trust) issues. The detailed error message is provided below. Correct the problem and try again. The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.
I have just purchased an Acer Aspire 8935g laptop, which comes with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit (not sure why 64bit isn't supplied). It has two 500gb hard drives; Disk 0 and Disk 1. Disk 1 is empty and I have successfully created 3 partions on this drive. According to Vista's Disk Management tool, Disk 0 contains three partitions. The first and last are both EISA Configuration partitions and can't be seen through Windows Explorer. The 2nd (middle) partition is the C: partition on which Vista is installed.
I want to install Windows 7 RC 64bit in a dual boot configuration, so I used Disk Manager to shrink the C: partition and then create a new 100gb partition. I assigned it the drive letter B: (there are no floppy drives on the laptop). The new B: partition is visible, along with the original C: partition through Windows Explorer, until I reboot the laptop. The B: partition then disappears and Windows Explorer can no longer see it, however Disk Management shows it is still there but it no longer has a drive letter and is now an EISA Configuration partition. I thought this issue might be caused by the choice of drive letter so I tried again using a different letter (F: ). Each time the drive is only visible to Windows Explorer until the laptop is rebooted. I've also tried using a different partition management tool (Partition Wizard) but it makes no difference. I've tried creating the partition as logical and primary but to no avail. explain Why can't I create a visible partition on my "O/S" drive?
I am having printing problem on my Vista business machine. I have a printer server (Windows 2003 server Domain Controller), and the new Vista is joind to domain as a standard user. When I add shared printers to the Vista, it prints out without problem. Problem is, however, after I restart the Vista, I am getting this error messages everytime I tried to print test pages. "Test page failed to print. Unable to create a print job".
Vista 64bit has been running really well on my desktop after a clean install in March. Suddenly, Windows update is failing to install, because it can't create a systen restore point. When I try to create one in System Restore, manually, it fails also, citing the shadow file timeout, or some such.....I am worried, because I can't use backup, either! Anyone know what's going on?
I have a Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit machine. I use IE 8 in my admin account and have had no problems with browsing websites. When I switch to my standard user account and use IE 8, some sites just don't render correctly (see attached screenshots). I've tried almost every suggestion I've come across in researching this issue, to no avail, including uninstalling IE 8 and using IE 7, reinstalling IE 8, compatibility view, add-ons disabled, mtu router tweaks, disabling anti-virus. I use Firefox mostly but need IE working for testing purposes as I'm a developer.

I have been using Windows Mail for my Yahoo addresses and by right clicking on the W.M. icon in the programme list above the start button I put a shortcut on to the desktop that has been working very well. Today I have combined Yahoo and Hotmail addresses under the WLM umbrella. But I cannot find how to make a shortcut. Nowhere can I find the relevant WLM icon to make a shortcut from. Obviously I am missing something, somewhere, but what is it?
Used the Webcam 1 time and it worked. Turned it off and did not even wait one minute and turned it back on and it gives me Graph Render Fail. What does that mean and what should I do?
My Windows Vista Enterprise has a serious problem. It is unable to find, delete, or create any system restore points. I have not found a way to re-initialize the system restore point process.
In the XP operating system when I wanted to find the storage locatioon of a file I could right click on the file-click properties and show the target location. In visa it seems that when I try the same thing the Path to the target is not visible. How do I find the target path?
I recently switched from an XP machine to a Vista machine (yes, I am an old newbie). I retained most of my programs. However, they do not behave the same. In particular, under XP if I did a Ctrl-Click on a link (e.g., table of contents page in MS Word) I would be moved to the link target.
However, under Vista I get the message "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effecxt on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Since I am the system administrator, and only user, on this machine, this doesn't he;[ much. I assume it has something to do with some security setting in Vista but have been unable to figure out where or how to "fix" it.
when i try to update windows, it gives an error 8000FFFF. i have also tried renaming softwaredistribution folder and catroot folder, also tried restarting BITS and windows update services but still it gives the same error. This is the 1st time i m trying to install updates and there are no Updates in the View Installed Updates coloumn.
I have a new laptop with home premium on it....i'm trying to install a baseball game,but I keep getting the same message at setup "unexpected problem trying to create or write to logfile"...error #7 i've tried running the program as administrator and it has no effect. Might there be some other form of security that vista won't allow this software past?

Error check on my HP Laptop that has vista home edition. for some reason it froze at 4% in the first stage (1 of 5), at this point i was able to exit the error check by pressing Escape, i went on and defragmented my computer next and did various virus and spyware cleanups, then i decided to do the error check again, this time the same thing happened but now i am unable to exit the error check. so my question is: is there anything i can do on my own or should i send it in to a professional?
I am running Vista SP1 and want to mirror the HDD in a RAID 1 configuration. I have purchased 2 HDD with the same specifications and copied the existing partition onto one of them. The system is booting into Vista well until I enable the on board nForce3 250 RAID controller and I get an error that it is unable to find an operating system. The RAID driver is installed under Windows and is recognised in Device Manager. I suspect it is an issue with one of the boot files i.e. boot.ini.
I am using windows vista ultimate 32 bit. I was notified that windows updates are ready to be installed so I installed them. It was Windows service pack1 it didn't complete there was an error message 700706BE. I restarted my computer and I have not been able to get into Windows at all. I get a message saying that one of my files is corrupted.
I keep having desktop crashes where the desktop disappears because windows explorer or word crashes leaving me with the only option to reboot how do I solve this
I am unable to post the Error message here. Socket No, 11001 it's the same 0x800CC ..that we've been hearing about. No answers have made sense so far. My mail is a mess - old mesages are being re-sent, I occasionally get a message and occasionally can send one. Sporadic at best. My ISP does not provide support outside their own web page mail service.
