error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine

[MajorNME]

started with a 8800 gts on vista 32, it worked but was too slow...
so I bought an engtx260 (latest drivers, reinstalled directx).

And now "error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine".

[MajorNME]

After reinstalling the game I now get the Errormessage:
"Display adapter does not support format D24S8 for X8R8G8B8"

This is on Vista32 with 4 GB RAM (yah, I know... only 3,2 GB used)

After googling a bit it seems that all of these errors occured in ArmA 1 as well?

Try adding -winxp to the shortcut.

Solution for me was (vista32, ENGTX260, Quadcore):
1.) uninstall nhancer
2.) uninstall Nvidia Driver
3.) Boot into save mode (maybe thats not required, it worked for me though)
4.) remove all tracks from the driver (I used 'Nasty File Remover')
5.) install Nvidia driver
6.) boot into normal mode
7.) pray that it works
