Re: 3D Acceleration



Run dxdiag and see if you get any errors. It should be in the \system32
folder.

When I try to run World of Warcraft I get the following error:
WoW was unable to start 3D acceleration. Please make sure DirectX 9.0c is
installed and your video drivers are up to date.
I do have 9.0c and as far as I can tell, the video drivers are current. Is
there a way to turn on 3D acceleration?
I am using Windows XP with SP2 I have an nVidia graphics card on a Toshiba
Tablet.
