What were you doing when this occured?
Was there any further information provided in the dialog?

I means that some component did not support a programming interface that was expected by the host. This is usually caused by a bad install or an older component being used.

More details will be need to help hunt this down.

after migrating to a different mobo, i was opening a project when this error occurred.

it doesn't happen with all projects, just a few. the only thing they have in common is the error.

aci music 3, win2k, 512 ram, dual proc...

Sounds like a DX FX is corrupted or missing or old.

Did you reinstall Windows after the MOBO change?

had to do an upgrade for windows to register the new parts.

dx plugs shouldnt affect acid music though. theyre all there anyway.

You should be able to fix the problem by reinstalling DirectX. I've seen this before.
