Well, I googled the problem and come up with this from the empire interactive support for ICC3, I know this is a different game, but if it is the same error, it might work.

When I launch the Cricket Captain 3 software I receive the following error message, 'could not get caps for device'


This can be linked to a couple of things.

1. The game is being run with an Integrated Graphics Chip set.
Please note: Integrated Graphics Chipsets / Laptops are not supported by the game.

2. Either you have recently re-installed your Windows Software and have not installed or updated your Graphics card driver, or the graphics card driver has become corrupt.

To ensure that you have the correct driver installed please use the following instructions.

How to access the DirectX Diagnostic Tool regarding Windows XP and Vista.

A. From your Windows XP Desktop.

- Click on the Start button,
- Click on the Run option,
- Type dxdiag and press your Enter key or click OK,
- The Direct X Diagnostic Tool will load up,

B. From your Windows Vista Desktop

From Windows Desktop

-Click on the Start button.
-In the Start/Search Box type DXDIAG and press Enter or OK.
-The Direct x Diagnostic Tool will load up.

DirectX information you need to check regarding the Graphics card is as follows.

-To check the Driver of the Graphics Card, click on the Display Tab at the top of the screen, look in the Driver details section on the right hand side and check that the Main Driver: information does not read vga.dll.

-Look in the Device section on the left had side and check that you have information regarding your Graphics Card in the following fields.

1.Name: ( this should display the make and name of the Graphics card option you have installed )
2.Approx Total Memory: (This should display the amount of memory that you Graphics option has to utilize) this should read 64MB or higher.

If there is no information in the Name: or Approx Total Memory: fields and the driver name is vga.dll then you will need to obtain information about you Graphics Option ( from your PC specification or manufacturer ) and install the latest driver for that option from the PC manufacturers website or the Graphics Chipset Manufacturers website.

Please let me know if you can sort your problem with that information or not.

Ishant Sharma - IND

How are u supposed to change the attributes of a player? Ishant Sharma is written down as a RM in the game but he;s actually a RF or RFM

Hi there Jagman,
You cant change it mate, there are tons of errors in the database like that.
You need to log all the database errors you find and put them in the database errors thread at the top of the forum, and chris child the designer is going to fix them all for a update/database patch.

I should point out that the style of a bowlers bowling doesn't impact on how many wickets he will get, or how expensive he is likely to be. Only affects his stamina iirc. So although Sharma would be down as a RFM, being down as a RM won't make him a poorer bowler than if he were RFM/RMF/RF.
