Direct 3D and Win 2K...

Ok I'm at the end of my rope not sure how to progress from here. Well anyway my problem is this. I'm running Win 2K Adv. Server at home and I was able to play Dark Age of Camelot for awhile then all of a sudden it started booting out "Render Creation Failure" messages at me and was unable to start. No big deal I played from another computer didn't give it a second thought. Anyway now I'm trying to play Diablo II from my server and I've discovered that the problem is in Direct 3D. Well I run dxdiag and run a direct draw test no problem but, when I run a direct 3D test I get "Failure at step 8 (creating 3D Device): HRESULT=0x887602eb (Error Code) ". So I tried reinstalling my graphic card's drivers (Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS v.3.0.8.2) didn't fix it. I try reinstalling Direct X 8.1 didn't fix it. Now short of reinstalling not sure what else I can do. Now keep in mind that I didn't always have this problem, I'm not sure how I encountered it, but now I need to get rid of it. Any advice

Thanks for the help but still no luck...

I've started Net Meeting enabled/disabled desktop sharing. Still no luck. Has anyone else found any other ideas?

 

Did you go through all those posts? There were a few other suggestions peppered through out it?
