Hello,
Recently I have been having trouble running MAME. When I try to run the command line version, I get the following errors:
Unable to create the Direct3D device (8876086C)
Unable to initialize Direct3D 9
Fatal error: Unable to complete window creation
I did a fresh install of 194 on my desktop and it works. I copied the entire directory to my arcade harddrive (usb - it is the same letter everytime) and I get the same errors on the USB drive.
Can anybody help with my I would get those errors on the USB drive and not on my desktop?
Thanks,
Jim

Did you try googling those exact specific errors in 3 separate instances?
I've seen this post hundreds of times and it's starting to be asked almost on a daily basis.
What O/S and hardware do you have? What video card?

Sorry for the late response, but the flu has hit our house pretty hard.
I haven't looked for all 3 errors at once, but will do so now.
I have a Surface Pro 4 with Intel HD Graphics 520 with 4G.
Thanks,
Jim

The problem went away for a few weeks and now has returned. I can run a separate version of MAME in a different folder. I have tried to update everything suggested, but nothing seems to work.
I have Googled all three errors at once and also separately, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

It can be a permissions problem. Maybe you put the mame folder or exe in the root usb directory. Create a new directory in the usb and put the mame folder there. Try if it's working.

I tried that and nothing has changed. Anything else?

I had the same problem a few months ago.
At first, I thought it has to do with Direct-X.
So I searched a few forums and found a solution:
If I turn off "Use hardware acceleration" from the DirectDraw tab from the Direct-X control panel, then MAME runs fine.
However, doing this breaks other games (i.e. MegaPlex) that I wanted to play.
Luckily, in the end, I found a solution that works for both.
Here's what I did and hopefully someone also find it useful:
In the MAME.ini file (if you don't have one, run "mame -cc" to create one),
in the "OSD VIDEO OPTIONS" section, change the video line to:
video opengl
Then save the MAME.ini file.
After that, MAME works.
