Armored Princess direct 3d error please help me !!! thanks

I created the account just to share how to fix the problem

The error that I got was:
C:\work\skyfallen\tbm\BMRender\rmode.cpp(5534): Directx call failed: -1,-1,E_FAIL (an undetermined error occurred inside the direct3D subsystem)

The problem appeared after I updated my nvidia drivers (to the newest 195.62 version). The game would not even start. To fix that I deleted the game.ini file located in
C:\Users\(your user name)\Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Princess

I was able to start the game but it would crash when rotating camera and give me the DirectX error.

To fix it, simply roll back to the previous drivers or install alternative drivers ( I use a laptop and got mine from http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com )
After installing an old driver (180.43) the game is working witout a problem. I should be done playing with the game in a couple of weeks and I will update the drivers then.

Hope it helps.

PS: oh and don't bother reinstalling DirectX. I did it three times, it will not fix the problem.
