Installing this will sometimes correct the problem, as DirectX 8.0 is the most stable version. If you are running Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 you can get the DirectX 8.0 installation from the Microsoft web site.This fix is for Windows 95 only and will not work on other versions of Windows or on NT. If you are running a Pentium MMX machine under Windows 95 you should download the mmxtog.exe program to turn off Microsoft DirectDraw MMX extensions.For example, if you are running 1024×768 resolution at 16million colors, try 1024×768 at 65,000 colors. Try different resolutions and bit depths.The status should now indicate “Disabled”. Click the Disable button next to “Direct 3D acceleration”.This will bring up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Click Start / RUN / and type in dxdiag.exe.Turn off Hardware acceleration in XP, Win2000 and ME:.You want to find the highest setting that keeps the system stable. If this makes a difference then retry the above with a higher setting. Test to see if the system is more stable.Move the slider on the h/w acceleration control all the way to the left (lowest setting).Lower the video acceleration level on Windows 95 and 98:.You can also bug the manufacturers of the card to make sure they have drivers that work with PhotoModeler (in particular 24bit texturing).

Look specifically for anything that has to do with DirectDraw or Direct3D.
