It happened after i connected my laptop to my TV and has remained like that ever since.Before all i had to do to fix this problem was delete the entire orbiter folder and extract all the folders again..but now that doesnt seem to be working even after i disconnect from the tv..i tried searching for solutions all solutions said the following

1)From the video tab,uncheck always enumerate devices
2)Select Direct3D T&L HAL option from the 3D device option

However there isnt any Direct3D T&L HAL in my 3D device option there is only one option which is RGB emulation...

i've now given up searching for solutions and i think this the only way i can expect help so

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just for info about my laptop

Hi downloaderfan,

1)From the video tab,uncheck always enumerate devices

I don't think this helps you. With this option enabled/ticked you say Orbiter to look for graphic cards at the time it starts. This should only be needed if you've changed your hardware/driver setup, but it never hurts to leave it enabled!
From Orbiter-Manual:

[...]This option enforces a hardware scan whenever Orbiter is launched and skips the device data stored in device.dat.
Make sure to tick this box after upgrading your graphics hardware or DirectX/video drivers to make Orbiter aware of the changes.[...]​

2)Select Direct3D T&L HAL option from the 3D device option
However there isnt any Direct3D T&L HAL in my 3D device option there is only one option which is RGB emulation...

Hmm, this looks like you have (accidentaly) changed your video-drivers.
I would recommend you to enable the "always enumerate devices", then close and re-open the launchpad and see if you see any other devices.

Nevertheless, even the "RGB emulation" should not result in a display like yours. It will we awfully slow, however

If you can still not see any other device after you've started Orbiter with "always enumerate devices" ticked, you might try to re-install or update your graphic-hardware drivers.

Good luck,

Maybe (repeat: maybe) deleting the file device.dat could help?
Launching orbiter.exe recreates it anyway.
