Silver Firefly's Return To World Of Warcraft

  • November 2008 - Posts

    I installed the latest driver for my graphics card which is a nVidia GeForce 9600M GS (256MB DDR3). And WOW is being awkward. When I clicked the Play button on the launcher, it spat an error message at me saying, "Failed to find a suitable display device. Exiting program." which is ridiculous seeing that there's a perfectly suitable display device attached already (laptop user here).

    So, I rolled back the driver to the previously installed version. WOW worked fine with that version so I figured that might resolve things. Nope, WOW is still playing dumb.

    I can't even post on the official WOW forums over at WOW Europe because apparently I don't have any available characters (I have several actually).

    Looks like I'll have to completely uninstall the old driver and install the latest version in the hope that it will resolve things once and for all. If it doesn't then I'm screwed I guess.

    In any case I've just checked the card in the device manager and discovered that for some reson my card is not listed. Instead, the standard VGA display is listed. Which would explain WOW's awkwardness.

    I'm hoping this driver will help. Ok I can't see the mobile version listed but the 9600 series are listed.

    If you know how to resolve this issue then please comment! Smile
