"D3D reset failed . Something is wrong with the direct x setup"

Maybe something to do with my graphics card? I don't know but I have a completely new computer.

Have you got the latest drivers installed for your graphics card? Are you using the most up to date version of direct x? its directx 9.0c

Anyone else have this problem? If not I guess it would just be my system.

Sorta, my game will crash sometimes when I go from small mode to normal, but its not frequent.

This aint happening at all for me on the current beta client (0.50.3 beta) - have tested on my home machine, laptop and work machine (the latter usually being particularly prone to it).
First could you confirm that you're using the 0.50.3 beta?
Also could you check to see if the crash happens in all circumstances - for instance, does it happen if you minimise when you first enter space, or only on worlds, or only on a specific world, or only when you've previously been to at least one world. Any sort of pattern may help identify it.
If it happens all the time (even in space), then it is possibly vid card driver related, and having a hunt around for alternate or updated versions of drivers for your vid card may solve it..

I also haven't gotten the game to crash on 50.3 beta/50.3 so far.

seems worse than ever now... coming from small, resizing windowed, bringing windowed back up to front...

Yea ,it's gotten way worse with 0.51.0,almost every other time I switch to or from windowed mode I crash hard and have to reboot.
