I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and I'm having problems playing games that are 3D.
When the game didn't start I thought it was the acceleration problem so I went to "Display Settings"->"Advanced"->"Troubleshoot" to see this:
I then ran "DxDiag" to see this:
DirectDraw is disabled and the others are not even available.
At this point I normally would think that this graphic card doesn't support these, but the weird this is that when I installed the games for the first time I was able to play it with no problems.
Of course I tried reinstalling the games, nothing.
I even tried reinstalling the main driver and even updated it, nothing.
I don't think it matters but I have DirectX10 and installed DirectX9c that usually comes with the games.
When I go to the NVIDIA control panel I can't figure out how to enable the directdraw.
And before I remember seeing the preview working fine with the green square circling around:
Sorry for the long post but I seriously need help.
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can save me.
