SB Live XGamer

I keep getting the error every time I try to run the FaceDemo that came with the TrialWare Version of DB.

I've tried reinstalling, updated DirectX, Video Drivers, but did not help.

Stepped it through and it errors out on line 51 every time
'ghost object on 501'

Any ideas?

UPDATE

so what I did was totally remove this section of code by remarking it out

rem Reflective mirror
rem stencilbuffervalid=0
rem if statistic(2)=1
rem stencilbuffervalid=1
rem make object sphere 501,500
rem position object 501,200,75,50
rem scale object 501,30,80,40
rem ghost object on 501
rem set reflection shading on 501
rem make object plain 502,5000,5000
rem position object 502,0,0,-300
rem set object light 502,0
rem yrotate object 502,20
rem endif

It works when I do that.

A GeForce3 should be able to handle ghosting - my old GeForce2 could.

Are you sure you updated to the latest detonator drivers?
