Funny, I'm getting EXACTLY the same error, but when trying to run the Windows MoHAA client in Linux via Wine.

The cause is probably totally different, though.

oh crap, if rook hasn't fixed the problem already, i'm screwed .
think rook, dammit think !

edit: rook, googled the problem and found this old thread...

http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic16973.html

seems a variety of issues can cause this problem . hoping i can find the one that's causing mine since this cpu currently doesn't have a ''seperate'' video card and the ''update your video card driver'' solution won't work for me .
i'm working off the default intel 82865G graphics controller .

sp3 is an evil plan by M$ to break XP so you have to buy vista

This actually sounds like something they would very well want to do.

I had that error way back for SP2 and somehow found a workaround. Alot of guys in GCC have been having a similar problem lately. I suggest keep looking, someone's bound to have an old guide of how to fix it.

All I remember is: you do not have to update your drivers to fix it.

i'm getting real close to simply hitting system restore .

I don't think any old fixes will work, this is a new bloatware, I mean, service pack.

I downloaded SP3 from major geeks it broke my media center I had to reinstall XP . SP3 is crap .

i'm am going to kill my brother in law . he's one of those computer system nuts (no offense to any computer system nuts here) who is constantly ''suggesting'' i update this and ''configure'' that ...and being i'm a OS idiot, i just nod like a retard . he noticed i was still on SP2 and berated me into downloading/installing SP3 . after reading hogleg's link i'm scared sh**less about system recovery because all my CPUs are off the shelf, meaning no XP OS install disc .

found an update to my driver by going directly to intel instead of having windows check for updates on the net . so thanks to everyone and rook .
