Try searching avon lady's site http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/ for "create device"

It says sometimes new drivers cause problems.

Make sure to run OFP Preferences, then Autodetect. Try running Direct 3D without HW T&L.

The above error message comes if you set your screen resolution to say 1024, then try run the game in 1280 window mode. If you haven't added -window to the properties of the ofp icon then try another step, set your desktop to equal size of what you run the game in, set color depth to same (32bit), run the ofp configuration program, run autodetect there and try start ofp.

Regarding Window mode, BIS how about making OFP "own" the desktop cursor while in OFP (much like Counter-strike etc does), and also make the window CENTERED on the desktop.

Martin - it sounds like you need to help yourself. Install DirectX 8 properly, then try it. Did you read avon's site?

That is to say, search The FAQ for "directx buster". Use it to uninstall DirectX, reboot and reinstall DX again.

You also might want to consider reinstalling video drivers again after that if the problem still isn't resolved.

That's not true, it is entirely possible to use a different game and desktop resolution. I run Windows in 1024x768x32 mode, but play OFP at 1600x1200x32.

The most likely cause of the problem are an unsupported video mode, or a corrupt DirectX installation.

As was mentioned before, run DXDIAG.EXE, click on the Video tab, and run the DirectDraw and Direct3D tests that are there. If no problems are found, run the OFP Preferences program, and select Autodetect.

What would be nice of you to do is to let everyone know what you did to make it work?
