Re: HUGE Direct 3D problem

I had a problem with not being able to enable direct3D for a game I
needed to play. It was on a Dell Demesion 2400 and I know that the
card was fine.

Here's the fix for can't enable direct3D in dxdiag.

TO FIX Direct3d direct x problem on Games.

1. Ensure that hardware acceleration is set to 'full'.
a. To do so:
b. Right click a blank spot on the desktop.
c. Choose properties
d. Click the 'settings' tab in the display properties.
e. Click the 'advanced' button
f. Click the 'troubleshoot' button
i. ENSURE that the slider is set to 'Full"

2. Direct3D must be enabled.
a. Go to the 'start' button
b. Choose 'run'
c. Type 'dxdiag' and hit enter.
d. Click the 3rd tab 'Display'
e. Ensure that 'Direct3D Acceleration is "enabled"

That's it, the fix that worked.
