Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum, and want to thank everyone in advance who replies with helpful responses. I am running a 2.53 GHZ Custom Built Machine, on 512MB of ram. My graphics card is a NVida MX 440, (yeah I know it is cheap, but it works good to me, or was before upgrading to XP Professional).

I wanted to play Ragnarok Online, so I downloaded the client, ran the patch client, then when it was done patching, I clicked 'Start Game'. It displayed an error 'Cannot init d3d or grf files are corrupt'. I had this problem before with RO on a 800MHZ HP Machine with on-board graphics controller by IBM. Normally I just had to restart the machine or adjust the display settings. So I did this, and to my luck still nothing. When I goto settings to check what device RO is using, it shows up blank, so I researched that too and came up with checking to make sure that my graphic cards drivers are up-to-date as well as Direct X.

So from there, I downloaded updated drivers for my NVida Card, Downloaded DirectX 9.0C, & ran Windows Update to make sure there is no updates I am missing. Still to my luck, I ran into the same problem. So this time I ran DirectX Diagnostic Program, and all the tests passed, tho I did notice something weird, DirectDraw said "Not Available" tho ... My card supports DirectDraw as it was enabled before I upgraded to Windows XP Profession when I was on Windows 2000.

Another weird thing I notice is when I ran the DirectDraw Test, it passed, tho that was not the weirdest part, but at the top when it shows the Approx. Total Memory on card, it shows n/a and VDD say's n/a.... I don't know what is wrong.

I ran into a dead-end, I have tried everything I could thing, including:

* Downgrading to DirectX 8.1
* Rolling back my graphic's driver
* Reinstalling DirectX 9c
* Uninstalling RO
* Reinstalling RO

Also, I noticed when I go to install DirectX 9c now, it asks me to accept the License Agreement which I do, then I press next, and it instantly says 'all the files are finished updating'., I reboot and it shows 8.1 still as the version for DirectX, so it is like DirectX is not even being installed when I do that.

I hope someone can help me out, please reply to this post if you have any helpful tips!

Thanks a bunch in advanced!
