:mad: what is a d3d error _invalid(4633) when i try to play game?

Unless I'm mistaken, a d3d error relates to Microsoft's Direct3D (DirectX).

Go into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder and look for the dxdiag application. Should be a blue circle with a yellow X in it. Double-click that to run it.

That runs a diagnostic of the DirectX on your computer to see if there's a DX problem somewhere.

Just for the sake of mentioning, make sure that you've got the latest version of DirectX installed on your system. I believe that it's 9.0b. You can find it here (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/). Also, make sure you've downloaded the latest driver for your video card.

Yep, D3D refers to Direct 3D, the video portion of Microsoft's now near universally used DirectX API (Application Program Interface) primarily used for Windows based 3D PC games. Just download / auto install the latest non-beta version, reboot and try again.

Here is a quick link to some concise definitions and other online resources:
