Problem: Initialization error - Multiple problems.
Several problems with the display hardware and device driver occurred during initialization. Performer uses DirectDraw and the display card device driver to control the display while playing shows. During initialization, Performer tests these capabilities, and several problems have been found which prevent it from playing shows.
The problem may be with the device driver, DirectDraw or the hardware itself.
Solutions:
Try closing any other open applications.
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.
Upgrade your system memory.
Upgrade or replace your display card.
