How do I solve the Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Worldbuilder Direct3D error 0x0x8876086c D3DERR INVALIDCALL
NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER; THIS IS TO CLARIFY MY QUESTION!
Alright, I got this error when starting up my Worldbuilder for C&C3: Tib. Wars. I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling, repairing, modifying and completely removing the Worldbuilder, but that didn't work. I ran up dxdiag to see if I had the right DirectX version, and I did. I installed a new DirectX thing just in case. I rebooted my computer, waited several months (which sometimes miraculously cures problems) and done all kinds of hopeless stuff, but nothing worked.
It's strange as the Worldbuilder for the newer Red Alert 3 game
does function correctly, although I had the same problem with that one once too. The only difference here is that this error didn't go away on its own.
This is what shows up when starting up Worldbuilder. The WB loads up till it's almost done loading, then it shows this error message:

Because of the severity of this error the game will now exit.

I have absolutely no idea what to make of this. I hope you'll be able to help me,
