Unable to find suitable d3d device
I'm having issues getting the simulator to load properly. Every time I start it, it states it was not able to find a suitable d3d graphics device. I'm using the ATI x600 SE graphics card with intel chipset... and I do believe I've gotten the simulator to work previously on this computer. In the past with this error, I found it would help to install Direct X seperately from RS, but that isn't helping this time.
I'm attempting to run the 1.5 May CTP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

That graphics card should support 2.0 vertex and pixel shaders so, in theory, it should work with the simulator.
Look in \windows\system32 for d3dx9_31.dll. Some people have had a problem with this file not being properly installed. Which version of DX are you installing?

Thanks for the help, Kyle! I actually reformatted the computer for another reason and so will try installing robotics studio again. . . we'll see if I have the same problem and if so, I'll check the file you mentioned. I have tried installing DX December version and letting RS install updates and I've also tried installing the DX April version which then RS says is fine (neither method works).
Thanks and I'll let you know how it turns out!
