Exception type	Condition
NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException	One of the following conditions has occurred: Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports a minimum of Pixel Shader Model 1.1. Could not find a Direct3D device compatible with the current device preferences. The process of ranking devices removed all compatible devices. Direct3D hardware acceleration is not available or has been disabled. Verify that a Direct3D-enabled graphics device is installed, and check the display properties to verify that Hardware acceleration is set to Full. Remote Desktop is in use.

InvalidOperationException	This graphics device manager has not been added to Services and registered as the graphics device manager for the application. Device settings cannot be changed or committed unless the device has been registered.
ArgumentException	Invalid arguments have been requested for the creation of the graphics device. Invalid back buffer options have been requested: BackBufferCount is not between 0 and 3. BackBufferFormat is not valid. Try SurfaceFormat.Bgr565, SurfaceFormat.Bgr555, SurfaceFormat.Bgra5551, SurfaceFormat.Bgr32, SurfaceFormat.Color, SurfaceFormat.Bgra1010102. The selected BackBufferFormat and IsFullScreen values are not valid for the selected adapter format and device type. The BackBufferWidth and BackBufferHeight values do not correspond to a valid display mode. FullScreenRefreshRateInHz does not match a valid display mode for the specified BackBufferWidth and BackBufferHeight. Invalid PresentationParameters.PresentationInterval or SwapEffect options have been requested: On Xbox 360, PresentationParameters.PresentationInterval has been assigned the invalid value PresentInterval.Four. SwapEffect.Copy has been assigned to the PresentationParameters.SwapEffect property, but BackBufferCount is not 1. When using SwapEffect.Copy, BackBufferCount must be 1. SwapEffect is not one of the following: SwapEffect.Copy, SwapEffect.Discard, or SwapEffect.Flip. Invalid multisampling options have been requested: Multisampling has been enabled, but SwapEffect.Discard has not been specified for the SwapEffect property. SwapEffect.Discard is required when enabling multisampling. The selected MultiSampleType is not compatible with the current BackBufferFormat and the IsFullScreen value for the selected adapter. The selected MultiSampleQuality value is invalid for the selected MultiSampleType. Invalid depth stencil options have been requested: AutoDepthStencilFormat is not supported as a depth/stencil format when using the selected adapter BackBufferFormat. PresentOptions has been set to PresentOptions.DiscardDepthStencil, but EnableAutoDepthStencil is not true. Multiple PresentationParameters have been specified and EnableAutoDepthStencil is true, but EnableAutoDepthStencil, BackBufferFormat, BackBufferWidth, and BackBufferHeight are not the same for all adapters. IsFullScreen is true, but: BackBufferWidth and BackBufferHeight are not nonzero. PresentationInterval is not one of the following: PresentInterval.Default, PresentInterval.Immediate, PresentInterval.One, PresentInterval.Two PresentInterval.Three, or PresentInterval.Four. FullScreenRefreshRateInHz is not nonzero. The selected adapter does not support the selected full screen PresentationInterval. IsFullScreen is false, but: PresentationInterval is not one of the following: PresentInterval.Default, PresentInterval.Immediate, or PresentInterval.One. FullScreenRefreshRateInHz is not zero.
