Direct 3D failure after updating MSI MX 400 video card drivers to v. 4523

Nov 27, 2003 6:41AM PST

I have just updated my MSI MX 400 card drivers to version 4523. Now when I run DxDiag...Direct 3D fails at the following stages:

Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure)

Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code)

Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086c (error code)

I also can't run Ghost Recon anymore I think due to this problem. I get this long message:

GHOSTRECON caused an invalid page fault in

Any ideas about both Direct 3D, and the game fault. I run Win 98SE on a AMD Athlon 1Ghz. I also have DirectX 9 installed.
