I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400.
I have the latest driver.

Is there anything I can do to play this game?

    Have you tried going to http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/intro.aspx on that system and see what it reports for STO?

    I have now.
    According to that tool, I pass in every category. 1/3 between minimum and recommended.

    Yet every time I start the game, it gets half way to loading and then returns an error.

    Direct 3D driver returned error code (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) while reseting the device ",877.94MB" available.

    Check your video drivers. If you are using 196.75 (there is an overheat problem with this version) then revert back to 196.34 beta OR 196.21 WHQL.

    I had a similar problem (unknown at the time to me) that 196.75 were recalled and removed from NVIDIA's site. If the error is similar to this....

    then reinstalling the older version may or maynot fix it.

    I actually had come across the overheating issue.
    My driver version is 8.17.11.9621

    I get a similar error to the one you have pictured. The number changes every time. It just hit over a gig.

    Reinstalling driver did not fix the problem. I will reinstall the game if necessary, but I would rather hold off for a while on that one.

    I have lost count how many times I've validated the thing.
