Have you checked if your video card and drivers are all up to date? If you haven't played 3D games before your card may not be compatible.

Or

If that fails:
1) Open up netmeeting. (C:\Program Files\NetMeeting\conf.exe)
2) In the 'Tools' bar, go to 'Remote Desktop Sharing' and start the wizard; follow it until it gets to finished.
3) Go back to 'Tools' > 'Remote Desktop Sharing' and uncheck it, so it's disabled.
4) Run Setup.exe for Ragnarok and your video card drivers will be there.


The reason for this is that netmeeting 'reserves' the directdraw function once desktop sharing is enabled. Disabling it will give it back to whoever needs it. I found the solution by realizing that it said 'disabled' in the DirectX Diagnostics [dxdiag], and then googling it.

Make sure another version of RO isn't open with "ctrl+alt+del" this is often a problem for me.
