IDirectDraw7:SetDisplayMode failed.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi everybody,

on 12.March.2008 I remembered the sweet days of old games especially Arcade
Games in 1996 by Acclaim, so I searched for them and downlaoded a packet of
them ,which was a file named: (Super Nintendo 800 Games + Emulator.daa,
which is the form of a virtual CD) by Betcomit.

Once I launched this virtual CD, I found an excutive file in it named:
(zsnesw) and lauched it...but unfortunately, a black screen showed up with a
message error in background saying:

IDirectDraw7:SetDisplayMode failed.

Make sure your video card supports this mode.

So I thought, the problem could be solved by the Windows XP integrated
Program-Compatability Assistant...but I tried and tried but..........
failed...!!!

So, any kind of help would be appreciated, and I even would be glad to get
help by any Desktop Remote-Assistance program like MSN Windows Messanger.
