Loading HL2, get kicked to desktop w/ following Engine Error:
failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer
Hit "OK" and get Half-Life 2: hl2.exe application error:
The instruction at "0x241f8977 referenced memory at "0x00e8f5c0". The memory could not be "read".
Click OK to terminate the program.
Was playing HL2 for 30 minutes or so before getting this error.
Had just gotten the wide screen panel late last week.
Had been playing w/out issues (except stutter) for weeks on 19" CRT and same 9800Pro drivers.
P41.6a @2.1 w/ 1GB PC2700.
Driving me nuts to say the least. Can play CS 1.6 just fine.
No other system issues.
Edit: just noticed under Display Properties/Settings, the 2005FPW is listed as 2 display devices, but #2 is indicated as Default Monitor...doesn't sound right...
