What game, What OS, can you give me some specs?

A check to see if it is enabled (on xp, probalby similiar on other OS's)

1) right click desktop, properties
2) Settings tab
3) Advanced button
4) Troubleshoot tab
5 Make sure that the slider bar is set to full

start -> run -> "dxdiag"

click the display tab and run the d3d tests.

Make sure you got the latest display drivers.
