Check the inner exception for more detail on why the graphics device could not be created. XNA Game Studio thoroughly checks why the graphics device could not be created and reports these checks in the inner exception. If NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException does not have an inner exception, it is likely that your graphics card does not have a DirectX 9 driver, that it does not support Shader Model 1.1, or that the hardware acceleration slider is not set to Full in your settings.
