i get this message
when i atl tab
"failed to lock index buffer in cmesh dx8"

then it closes

some one help its driving me insane!!!!
 
Are you running Direct X 8? What operating system are you running? Have you tried reinstalling DX?? IF you are running XP, then you should upgrade to DX9, or install SP2 because it comes with DX9.
 
i typed dxdiag and it says i have 9.0 c im sure thats right. i have xp pro with sp2.
 
yes but are you running directx 8.1 for half life 2/cs:s ?
 
some one help please i founf a htread on yahoo but its in a differnt language
 
ok i just recently downgraded to an x850 xt and install cat 6.2 and now the cmesh problem has dissapeared. i can alt tab now!!!! i dont know what it was the new card or the driver

x800 xl cat 5.5-5.8 -- cmesh problem
x800 xt cat 5.8-5.11-cmesh problem
x1800 xl cat 5.12 - 6.2 - cmesh problem

x850xt cat 6.2 -NONE!!!!!!!!


and yes i used driver cleaner everytime.
 
dont alt tab. i had the same problem until i switched to nvidia. problem solved. not to put down ati.. i switched from an x800xt to a 7800gt and the issue never came back. has to be an ati issue.
 
this is a known problem at various gaming forums. it appears its been isolated to ati cards only.
btw, i have the same problem with my setup.
 
alt tab doesnt crash my video game, it just takes a long ass time to get to the cs screen again after it is alt tabbed. Kinda sucks since i end up dying after the re alt tab after someone messages me.
