"failed to initialize renderer" shows now, and none of my games work
fallout worked 10 minutes ago, now i get renderer error, and it wont even open
tried my other games, and they too crash upon startup with the same message :(
i havent added or removed anything, and suddenly everything is falling apart. does anybody know what this means?
i find some threads elsewhere, but theyre dated to 2005, and the fixes they link to no longer work, besides they all have in common that they just installed the game.
i have played the games fine, untill now, they all wont work :S

Maybe it's time to take up Chess?
I'm no technical wizard, but could it be something very simple like a button pressed or a switch turned that shouldn't be? End of my expertise.

thing is, if i had just gotten and installed the games, then it would be a matter of updating drivers etc, but i _have_ played all of these _fine_, and NOW theyre all dying on me, and i havent done anything new :S the graphics card is brand new, its driver is brand new, my directx is brand new
i dont understand why im getting these errors now :(

Dumb question. could it be something battery-like in your computer that's not letting the juice in? I dunno.

I would just call the manufacturer(s) and bitch! It might be something flawed in the games themselves. :orly:

i tried to downgrade my ATI driver, cus several people claimed that the latest driver actually killed some of the older games,
but now my card isnt even recognized "cannot find hardware"
this has all gone to hell :(
you think virus may be at fault? ill do a virus scan...

aww, ickle Pentygwam knows how to post pictures :)

something as elemental as re-installing drivers fixed it...
wtf.. at least it works.
i still dont get the logic of all this, and it bothers me, why would it work one day and not the next, re-install driver, and then it works??

Dunno. I always have the same question in mind whenever something doesn't work for me.
Glad to see it's working again.

You can only try. Do a backup first, incase it goes pear-shaped (you know, like Judy).

I've nothing to add. I just hope you manage to fix your problem. It's heartbreaking to be desperate to get a game and then it not run.

my civilization 4 wouldnt work!
imagine my sorrow!
it works now tho, thanx to an updated driver, but of course now im terrified.
one thing is that its fixed, another is how easily and for no apparent reason it decided not to work at all :I
