I've got:
Pentium III/700
512 MB ram
Win2k w/sp2
DirectX 8.1
GeForce2 pro
Nvidia reference 21.83 driver
It all worked fine with DirectX 8.0
When I start DS I get:
Failed to initialize display!
Failed to initialize the platform; please run ClientSetup to check your client settings.
In dxdiag I get:
No problems found.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
The dx 7 interface test goes fine, but the dx 8 interface test fails.
Anybody seen this before?
HELP!!

- does this mean - with the 21.83driver and DX8.0
- was it 8.0 or 8.0a
- who "builded" your Vid-card??
- what Motherboard (VIA or INTEL - chipset)

It worked fine with 8.0, 8.0a and 21.83, 21.81
The card is a Creative GeForce 2 Pro
64 MB DDR
My motherboard is VIA-chipset
So DX 8.1 is the only new component
Tony Hawk 2 and Dave Mirra BMX works just fine
The demo AquaNox and DarkSpace doesn't work
And both use DX 8 features (to my knowledge)

My hardware ist simular to yours, but I don't have those problems you're complaining about.
I wrote my sys config into my signature
DS also worked fine with the following configs:
- Win2k Sp2, DX 8.0a, Det. 12.41
- Win2k SP2, DX 8.0a, Det. 14.70
- Win2k SP2, DX 8.1, Det. 14.70
I only had problems with Detonator 21.81 (Win2k SP2, DX 8.0a). Using this I got nice crashes with blue screens saying something about nv4_disp.dll

Yes, I also had this problem.
System:
Win 2000 SP2
Pentium III/800 Mhz
512 MB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 256
DirectX 8.1
Latest Detonator Drivers (21.83)
I had no idea how to fix this, but I tried DirectX Properties in Control panel and I noticed under the Direct3D tab, that 'Allow Hardware Acceleration' was NOT checked. Neither were 'Enumerate Ramp Rasterizer' and 'Enumerate Reference Rasterizer'.
So, I checked all three boxes, ran dxdiag, Tested Direct3D, everything worked fine, then started up DarkSpace and it worked!
Not sure if that is your problem but it's worth a try.
