Hi Michael

Just to confirm, I've just received this same error and it was as you said because I had turned off h/ware acceleration (to record a video in fact)

Hi Jotell & Steve - I've updated this message for future builds to give a bit better clue on what might be wrong.

It will now say:

Unable to create Direct3D9 device.
Possibly an unsupported older video card, or hardware acceleration is disabled.
Check Control Panel / Display / Settings / Advanced / Troubleshoot
