Street Fighter 4 crashes when launched - Fatal Error

[jago86]

I've been playing Street Fighter 4 perfectly until i tried to today.
Over the weekend I had some friends over and i hooked up my computer to a projector that one of the guys brought over, so that we could game out. Everything worked fine.

But today i tried to play using my regular monitor, and i get this message;

Fatal Error

Failed resetting the Direct3D device.

Other games run perfectly (Pro Street/Grid/COD 4/ PoP)

I'm running Windows 7 RC (7100)
GPU - Radeon 3850 AGP
CPU - Athlon X2 2.7ghz
RAM - 2GB

ALL drivers are up to date, including Direct X.

street fighter 4/windows 7

Hello. First of all, I am glad to hear street fighter 4 works on windows 7. All of the googles response to street fighter 4/windows 7 posted by users have been unsuccesful. So good to know You got it to work on windows 7.
As to your problem. Easy. You played successfully on your computer prior to hooking it up to a different monitor. In this case, a projector. Your projector changed the default settings in your system. Simply system restore it to the date before the projector or just restore the system back to its original settings when you first purchased. I am 99.9% sure this will work .

yes, but this will take out all of youre personalisation. So, i recommend going to right click on desktop --> screen resolution --> press detect, and chose the one that is recommended. then change your resolution to the right one.

Ok, cool thank you.

I currently don't have it installed right now, but if it ever happens again, i'll try that. Thanks again.

Hey Jago86, I know you have windows 7 64 bit. But what OS version? (home, professional, or ultimate?)

This question if for Coolness: I 've been doing alot of googles research and found that the street fighter 4 (xp/vista) works on windows 7 ultimate(64 bit). I personally don't have windows 7 and my conclusion is based on youtube and googles response. I see you have windows 7 professional. Do you have street fighter 4 and does it work on your windows 7 professional? Thank You.

Well, I dont have Street fighter, so sorry. But i dont think the issue here is in the game, its just the settings. Also, if you've done a lot of searching, and ppl say it works, and this guy says it works, it probably works. Its alright, you can buy it =P

 

[HKaiHok]

thanks guys. i am somewhat on a budget. and since dell and hp only sells windows 7 now i 'm trying to get a computer as inexpensive as possible. windows 7 home cost much less than windows 7 ultimate. so i figure if SF4 works on windows 7 home, why spend more money buying ultimate? i am still trying to research on whether anyone have windows 7 home can play on SF4. better yet, maybe windows 7 32 bit will work. so i just need to find the "minimum" windows 7 OS that works so i don't need to spend more than i have to. Thanks again.

 

[Coolness]

Well i can help you with that:
If you want to have the BitLocker function, you need to have ultimate. How ever, since you are on a budget, i would say that win 7 pro is the best one of these. If you have 4 gb+ memory, then 64-bit is a must. if you have say, 2 gb, buy a 32 bit. Many older programs dont work properly on 64-bit os's, so choose with care.
Almost forgot, read my sig.

This might sound like an odd question. I have a mac, a dual core intel macbook pro. I have software called Desktop Parallels which allows me to emulate Windows 7. Now I can run windows applications and have Nero 9 and other applications installed. Now I have street fighter 4 installed but it crashes when I launch the game. Any ideas? Forgive me if this is weird question or if I should be on a Mac forum asking that side of the table. I just assumed it would be a windows settings issue that is malfunctioning. I used to have XP on my desktop before this computer and I really don't know vista well, let alone windows 7, and I'm just a little out of my league but relatively computer savvy. Any help is much appreciated.

Well emulation software often fails in delivering 3D applications. I dont know how to fix it, but im pretty sure you cant play games on OS emulators.
