direct 3d problems

[FredJim]

I got up this morning and tried to show somebody a screen saver and all of the sudden I get "No hardware Accelerated Direct 3D devices were found" and "Could not find any compatible 3D devices" . I have no idea why this has happened...unless my kid did something to the computer. I reinstalled DirectX and reinstalled my video drivers but still get the same thing. Anybody help me with this....it's driving me nuts.

WinME 750Mhz 256MB Ram
TNT 32MB graphics card

Have you tried re-installing the latest DirectX which I think is either 9 or 8. Did you maybe install an earlier version of DirectX? Also did you download the latest video drivers or just re-install from the CD. I would recommend downloading the latest from the web as well.

I have done of that....and I still get the same messages......

Right click on My Computer>select Properties>Performance>and Graphics. Make sure the acceleration is slid all the way to the right to full. Jim
