Direct3DDevice9::Present failed: Driver internal error?

Hi guys, i get this Dirext3DDevice error when i am playing Call of Duty World at War. I have a AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core with 4gb of ram, and a ATI Radeon 4670 1gb DDR3 video card. Now i can play Call of Duty fine when i am not running any other games in the background. I play Silkroad Online, i have a bot for it so i can run multiclient (run more than 1 person at a time, like run 2 games at once). I run 1 Silkroad client and call of duty and it works fine, but whenever i have 2 Silkroad clients open and i launch call of duty it loads to the main menu and i join a server and like 40% through the loading bar it freezes and i get the Direct3DDevice Error. Anyone have any fixes or having the same problem? Also my friend can run 2 silkroad clients and call of duty with a slower computer than mine, he has a AMD 5400+ with a ATI Radeon 3650 512mb DDR3?

Thanks guys, hopefully someone knows something i don't.

You have a very specific problem and that you are attempting to run 3 games at once.

ohhh silkroad = MMO kinda game and you are botting in it. /finishes coffee >.<
Have you tried running Silkroad at min settings while its running in the background?

ok well i tried 1024x768 resolution and that didn't work, so then i tried 800x600 resolution, i minimized the games then run cod and it wouldn't load so i hit ctrl+alt+del and it came up and my catalyst control center was open and it gave me the VPU Error saying my video card crashed???

i got a 750 Watt Ultra PSU.

So can someone help me figure this problem out??? pr2thej my dxdiag says my directX version is 4.09.0000.0904.

Me too ive got the same fault message. New map loads say 10% then black screen. Full crash and get the dreaded error message. All the other maps run great.

I fully formatted HD and reinstalled windows xp pro edition, All drivers are updated. Still the same issue with COD WAW. Patches installed correctly.

Please help as this is just getting me down.

Im still trying to resolve the issue. Activision support are doing all they can to help but they seem to be in the dark as to why this is happening. I have uninstalled cod waw again and deleted the game folder. Now im reinstalling and just updateing using patch 2 and 2-4. NOT 3 as it seems the new patch is culmative. Maybe this may work. I will post again once I have completed install and tested the game. Should be in the next 2 hours.

Until then fingers crossed.

paperello64 can you give system specs please as it may be a hardware issue. If your GFX card and direct x are the same as mine then it may explain the reason.

Thanks and any other input is welcome. Lets all beat this issue together.

I also have same issue with Radeon 4870 1gb by Asus

Same error but only on 1 map newvillers since 1.4 patch installed, all other maps run fine except once in a while i get booted off map, but restart COD5 and wa-la, but not Newvillers, this map gives me direct3DDevice9 error all the time and kills the game. My DirectX version is5.03.2600.5512, and i loaded latest ATI drivers because same thing occured under ASUS drivers.

Funny how its only one map, I too have deleted the map folder for that map, and all maps and the whole game but no go.
