Unable Direct 3D

[kfour]

Every time when I restart Windows 7, screen has show "Direct 3D Error" (Unable to use Direct3D, Please install DirectX). I had install new version of DirectX. But this problem still there. After uninstall LEMUR then the message and problem is gone. I believe LEMUR ahs problem with Windows7 64 bit with DirectX. Please help out fix problem. Thanks

it's gone after uninstalling the Lemur editor? That's surprising. I also see this message from time to time, but only on a netbook with integrated graphics (Intel I guess). On a laptop and two PC's with NVidia cards this never happens.

What kind of computer and graphics card do you have?

I have this problem as well. Its very annoying. I disable the checkbox saying "Launch Deamon at Start up" I restart and there is that popup twice. When I look at the checkbox in Deamon its checked again??? So it have to be a bug...

Hi
Have you tried altering DirectX settings?
Apparently it causes issues with any number of apps, lots of games, Autocad etc etc
Make sure your video drivers are all correct and up-to-date etc etc
Try going to Personalize > Display > Change Display Settings > Advanced Settings > Troubleshoot > Change Settings.

Goodluck, if all else fails - Open window, drag and drop, and get a Mac . . . ;-}
Cheers

I also observed the graphics driver crashing and restarting on a dual-screen system. The card is a Quadro FX 4500. But only when I run the editor as only application. When I run other applications like Cubase (dual-screen) at the same time, it never happens.

Has anybody found a fix for this yet? It's very annoying.

I have the exact same issue on every PC I have this installed on. The daemon is set to load on boot. Two 32 bit Win 7 laptops (one Dell, one IBM), also on my 64 bit desktop and desktop with XP install (for compatibility with an older audio card). I have just decided that clicking the stupid error and manually restarting the daemon is part of the boot process.

Perhaps the daemon is trying to load itself before the underlying dependencies have loaded? I know little about the windows boot process, but I know you can define boot dependencies in every flavor of Linux I've used. I can't think why else it would have no problems loading when I manually run it, but consistently fails on boot.

A bugfix would certainly be appreciated.

that might be it. Nothing to worry actually. Just click away the messages after boot and the system is ready.

Hi all,

First post here, and before anything, just want to say what an amazing app Lemur is, and probably the the main reason why I finally decided to get an ipad. I am still working my way through the manual etc but have it running over ad-hoc wifi to my Laptop running Windows 7 32bit, which after installing the latest intel wifi drivers and getting the settings right works superbly.

However I too have noticed this 'Unable to use direct 3d, please install directx" error. I just click on ok and reload the Lemur daemon and that seems to sort it out, but curious to know whether there is an actual fix for this, or possibly will it be fixed in next update.

Edit: Just disabled the Lemur daemon in msconfig startup. There were 2 entries in there which probably accounts for the 2 error messages I was getting earlier, so have disabled them and on reboot the errors have gone.

Anyway cheers lads and great to be a Lemur user finally

I had the same problem too. I can confirm that disabling the 2 Daemon entries in the msconfig startup fixed this problem.

Hopefully this is not needed in future updates.

Great software, I am hooked.
