1. Please only use our official mirrors if you are about to download 3DMark06. We can't control what other un-official sites are hosting. Check our official mirrors from here: http://www.futuremark.com/download/3dmark06/
2. Make sure that the version of 3DMark06 is 1.1.0 (latest one)
3. You need to install everyting that comes with the 3DMark06 installer (OpenAL, DX Update and obviously 3DMark06)
4. If you are running Vista 64 bit you will also need to install a separate OpenAL installer:

5. In some cases (we haven't been able to reproduce them in our labs) the DX update doesn't install or install correctly. It is required to install it for 3DMark06 to run, so please download the latest DX updated here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
6. Install the latest available WHQL drivers from your graphics card vendor (FM Approved prefered)

Another thing you may want to look into in case you are experiencing "Lost Device" errors in Vista when running 3DMark06, is Vista's TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery). You can find more info about it (and how to disable/edit it) here:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device...m_timeout.mspx

Please note that playing around in your registry is not recommended unless you have experience with it.

I have had the "device lost" error on a Abit IP35 pro board. I tried every GPU I have and got the error repeatedly. I was baffled for a long time. I tried everything I could think of. That error went away after I replaced the brand new (defective) RAM I was using (that would pass prime95 blend for 20 hours).
