Hi all,
I recently got an Nvidia GeForce 6600 with 512mb. First I went through the blue screen crashes happening in the nvidia drivers. I got that cleared up, now when I try to save or leave a lot It does not crash the whole system but the game crashes with the error:  
Direct3D returned an error: D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE! The application will now terminate.
I have been through driver updates, directx steps... really everything I could find. Now the card shows signs of corruption (glitchy lines and such) so I am sending it back before the protection plan is up. A couple of questions...
1. Has anyone else been through this and what did you do to resolve it?
2. Time for a new card... looking at the nvidia 8600 GTS (I guess I like pain). Is anyone using this card without issue?
3. Suggestions on other cards?
Thanks all!
