OK so I am loading everquest on to my Girl friends laptop. I get the whole laod finished and hit play and I get 3D devices not found. She has a HP pavilion ze 5600. I dont know what video card it has in it. Anyway is there anyway to fix that without doing a card upgrade?

Run the D-A-L Hardware Scan & post the results.
This will ID your card & your DirectX version.

You may just need to update your drivers as well as DirectX version.

Found out she needed the video drivers that fixed it thanks for the help

I'm having the same problem.... "No 3D devices found" when trying to run EQ.

Have you check the video drivers?

Matrox Millennium G400 DualHead MAX - English

you can logon to that site using:

user name: drivers
password: all

also check your DirectX via Start > Run > dxdiag

9.0 is the latest:

After doing as Jephree suggested, you may want to enter your Everquest directory and delete the eqdevice file. When you patch EQ it will be remade for you. That file should list your 3d card (on one of my computers running EQ the file says Primary Display Device, the other two lists the card itself )

Thanks guys!!!! I've fixed the problem. I ran the DXDIAG and found that the direct draw and 3D acceleration was disabled. I enabled both and now EQ is happy!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!! THANK YOU so much....! Now help me out at EQ! I need friends @ EQ.
