N64 emulator problem on Vista laptop

[piggy2k9]

Hi a friend of mine showed me how to get Goldeneye on to my computer but could not get it to work. Every time i load up Project64 a notice comes up saying:


"Graphics Error:
Direct3D failed to initialize
Error code: 8876086A
D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE"

So I click "OK", then:

"Error:
The default or selected video plugin is missing or invalid.

Check that you have at least one compatible plugin file in your
folder."


I have tried to run the plugins but they are .dll files and my computer does not recognise them and I dont know how to get my game to work.
Could anybody help me? It would be much appreciated!

Sounds like the plugin isn't right for your graphics card. Try another plugin. (And they're not supposed to be run by themselves.)

I have downloaded other plugins but they do not work because it requires a specific plugin, any ideas? Thank you for the help!

What requires a specific plugin? I can use many plugins.
What is your graphics card?
