problem after installing gfx and dx9 updates

Nov 30, 2003 6:51AM PST

i use windows 98 and have installed dx 9.0b and the latest drivers for my geforce4 mx 440 AGP x8 gfx card. After doing this i cant load any 3d programs at all , i get an error :

Error: setfullscreen - creating device failed : D3DERR_INVALIDCALL

Ive tried everything i can to downgrading to the driver versions i used before ,to updating windows ,but to no avail .

my system specs are as follows:
AMD athlon 2ghz
512mb DDR ram
gfx card as above
110gb 7200rpm HD

ive tried everything i can (being an amatuer at pc's) and just have no idea whats wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.
