Shot in the dark considering i'm still running 32bit pc with winxp pro!


But I fixed exactly this problem a couple of weeks ago after installing
latest ATI catalyst 9.9 drivers which also messed up textures/hardware
acceleration in directx.

All i did was reinstall the latest nforce board drivers again which
includes the Gart driver which I presume got fekked over!

Fixed my problem :cool:

Thanks for the reply.

When you say you reinstalled the latest nforce board drivers, do you
mean the drivers that come with my MB or the flashing the bios?

As for fiddiling around in the bios, I have looked and I can't find
anything that seems to make a difference, both my MB and Video Card are
overclockable so I thought if I ramped it up or adjusted some settings,
or even if one of these had some sort of independent setting that over
ruled the DirectX settings, but I can't find anything yet.

Thanks.

Yes your board drivers - not flash bios!
See if there are updated board drivers for your motherboard on
mainboard website!

With AGP(as opposed to PCI-E) graphic cards hardware acceleration will
disappear
1. if it is turned off in Bios(4x+8x) Also if Apperture is set less
than 128/64mb etc
2. Turned off in ATI Catalyst Control Center(Nvidia=Rivatuner)
3. Driver screwed up on installation.
4. One of the Mainboard drivers eg Northbridge/Gart gets corrupted.
5. Directx has been overwritten and mixed with different date versions!

Have you checked that the Nvidia graphic card driver is installed OK in
"Device Manager"(or whatever it's called in Vista) and there are no
question marks?
You maybe running on the basic driver vista installs and not the proper
Nvidia one.

Try reinstalling your drivers a different way around and make sure all
firewall/antivirus progs are turned off(disable connection to internet
first!)

Tried everything I think, Nothing in the bios that I can find, I have
rivatuner but nothing about activating or enabling Directdraw, unless I
am overlooking it. Tried a fresh install on everything and updates to
all of it, still no good, thanks for any additional help.

Start right with the basics then!

Use another card to test your motherboard/bios settings are working
correctly & Directx/ACCel reappears.

Try and test your card in another PC.

I do know there are different PCI-E sockets. Do you need a particular
speed to make your card work correctly ie PCI-E 16x motherboard slot?
(I still use AGP lol but it runs Crysis, GTR Evolution - up to 2008
games etc fine!)

Try card in different slots to see if there is a clash with other items
eg SATA chipset using same port share numbers/mem area.
I don't know how this is set up within Vista!

Speak to manufacturer to see if there are any known incompatibilities
with the chipsets installed on your motherboard vs your brand graphic
card.

Have you connected power wires correctly?
Is card getting enough juice or working in default/emergency/VGA mode?
Make sure all the little metal connectors inside the plastic power
connector are pushed right in!

Speak to Nvidia - does it say your card is supported in the driver
version you are using?
Poss your card is faulty!
Did it ever work correctly?

No more ideas after this!

Thanks for all the info, here is where I stand...

My card is PCI-E 16X
I only have the one slot on my MB so I can't switch it to another
I unfortunately don't have another box to try it in I have tried
software diagnostics and everything comes back fine.
Both my chipset and Graphics card are completely compatible, everything
is actually setup to support a DirectX system.
My power levels seem good
To be completely honest I built this box back in February and I have
never checked to see if the Direct X was working correctly, never had a
problem until now.

Thanks.

What graphics chip/card do you have? You may have one that does not support
DirectX9 drivers.

He's using a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+ and currently using the second most
recent driver, 190.62 as of 10/5/2009.

He posted a link to an image of DxDiag with the info on it in his original
post.

Thanx for the info I do not have his original post on my system.
