How can I enable agp texture with direct x 9.0 2

[esanford]

I run a amd 2400 with a radeon 9200 and a simple sound blaster 16. I was told by a software tech, to enable agp texture in my direct x diag. but its states its unavailable. does anyone have a solution for this?

thanks

What is your version of DirectX?

I just checked my DirectX and have a Radeon 9200 SE card with DirectX 9.0 [4.09.0000.0900].

The Display tab show DirectDraw Acceleration as Enabled,
Direct3D Acceleration as Enabled, and AGP Texture Acceleration as Enabled. All 3 entries have a button to Disable them.

DirectX 9.0 with a biostar motherboard.

Sorry, I should have looked at the subject line again.

Have you tried new drivers from ATi? My Main Driver is ati2dvag.dll, Version 6.14.0010.6320 dated 6/2/2003 20:41:02.

Also, my WinXP Pro AMD Athlon XP 2600+ computer is using the on-board RealTek sound system.

Just looking at my WinXP HE P3 notebook with DirectX 8 shows all 3 features enabled on the S3 Graphics Twister 0012 adapter with 32MB Shared Memory.

Well I downloaded the most recent drivers from ati's web site along with my sound card drivers. Both with no avail. I can tell I dont even know a spec about this stuff compared to you, so forgive my ignorance but i'm not even quite sure how to retrive my driver information like you did. I'm only familer with the "systems properties". I checked in there and found nothing like you stated. I've been doing a bunch of research for the past 4 hours on this issue. And I think i'm narrowing it down to a mother board problem. Do you think that might be possible?

thanks for taking the time to help

esanford,

This agp texture can be enabled through the use of 3rd party applications. it is worth going to this site

http://www.rage3d.com

and downloading the rage3d tweak program.
Ensure that you do try to read all of the attached help etc before you begin altering settings.

Thank u very much the rage3d progam, worked great. But I guess that wasent my problem. I was told to enable texture accel. by a software tech support guy for a ddhelp error I kept receiving. Now that the enabled problem is fixed I still receive that darn ddhelp error. Any thoughts on this?

What exactly does the error say?

 

[esanford]

"ddhelp has caused an error in unknown" It happens while trying to run Tiger Woods 2004.
