Whenever i try to run a game, it says DirectX hardware acceleration is turned off.I then run dxdiag, and DirectDraw accel, 3D accel, and AGP texture acceleration are all listed as "not available" There is no button next to them to enable them.I have tried re installing DirectX, but to no avail. Also, I have tried updating my video cards, but again, no luck.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just finished building a new computer last week. It runs very well, and it scored a 7.8 out of 7.9 overall on the Windows User Experience Rating. The problem I am having is that I had to reinstall windows (I messed up the first installation) and now when I try to run the assessment again it always crashes on "Direct3D 10 Texture Load Assessment."
I have all the latest drivers and DirectX 11 installed. Any idea why it would do this when it did not on my previous Windows installation?
My i7 990X is currently at 4.65 GHz. I was using MSI afterburner to overclock my GPU, but I confirmed that it is not the problem. Full computer specs in my profile.
i've come across Age of Empires 2 and AoC expansion and want to play them, however get a graphics system error."Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"
My specs are:
Dell Inspiron 545
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit,
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @2.50GHz
Memory: 6.00GB
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4350
- I've tried to right click the shortcut and change the compatability to XP server pack 2, run as administrator, updated my graphics card drivers and downloaded the latest directX 11 from the Microsoft Website.
Just upgraded from Vista Business 32bit to Win 7 Pro 32 bit AOE working fine before upgrade but now error shown as:"Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"I've checked the drivers are the latest. Directx is ver 11. DirectDraw enabled. Video card is ATI Radeon HD 3650 with latest driver.Tried compatibility modes, disabling Aero, re-install AOE, XP virtual mode. Nothing works.
