Problem: Initialization error - DirectDraw features not supported.
A problem with the display device occurred during initialization. Performer uses DirectDraw and to control the display while playing shows. During initialization, Performer tests these capabilities, and the display device driver or display hardware apparently do not support some necessary features of DirectDraw which prevents it from playing shows.
The problem may be with the device driver, DirectDraw or the hardware itself.
Solutions:
Try rebooting Windows.
Try re-installing Gizmos.
Try changing your display device driver. Most display cards come with device drivers from the hardware manufacturer, and Windows comes with device drivers for many common display cards. In some cases, one or the other driver will provide better performance.
Try updating your DirectX installation. It is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.microsoft.com/directx.
