Unable to start

Unable to create Direct3D

from Demigod Forums
ok ive been scanning around the forum to resolve my issue and the 'Unable to start' 'Unable to create Direct3D' seems to be a popular one, however ive tried all of the solutions and none of them work. ive tried copying a game.pref file into the folder to get it running but no luck, ive also tried running it in 640x480 res and no luck. my video card drivers are up to date and i have a Nvidia 9800GTX+ which is capable of running this game. the thing is i installed this game on a wide screen monitor and it worked fine, but now that i changed back to my standard monitor it comes up with this problem. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game but it still doesnt work. any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated :)

If it's trying to start up at the widescreen res on a smaller display, that'd be the cause of the problem. You can delete the Game.prefs file from My Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Demigod to reset it, or if you open the file in notepad you can change the setting to match your current display.
