    Angry Why me!!!

    When trying to start games i get an error come up. it says "Please enable Direct3D acceleration. You can do this by starting dxdiag and enabling Direct3D acceleration in the Display 1/2 tab after installing DirectX 8.1b or later and the latest drivers for your graphics card" this has just started after i restarted my pc. Also i cannot get into by ATI CONTROL PANNEL. and when i am on the net the screen is all jurky when i am scrolling down a page. Does anyone know what the problam is. i have directX 9b or 9.1b watever it is!! and also the latest drivers for my GFX card!!
    I have also gone into the DXDIAG and the Direct3D is already enabled, and it is greyed out so i cant disable it!!


    this is really annoying me, i only jst restarted my pc then that starts hapenning.

    That's more or less the same setup I'm running, except I have 512Mb and an XP2600. You shouldn't be having any problems.

    Can only suggest you re-install DirectX 9.1b, uninstall your video drivers, then reinstall latest Catalyst drivers.

    Latest is V3.10 available from ATI's site or at www.guru3d.com

    also at that site is a facility to completely uninstall ATI drivers, that may well be worth a try, as it's a possibility your video drivers are corrupt in some way.

    Can't say for sure, just making an educated guess, but it's worth a try. I assume you're using Win XP?

    I'm running quite a few games on my system, inc. UT2003, no probs.
