I just installed windows 7 (build 7000) on my older dell inspiron 700m. Everything has been running smoothly except for what i believe is a video driver problem. My screen max res. is 1280x800 but it's limiting me to 1024x768 right now. I also can't do things like screen-savers, because when I try to enable them, instead of the preview, i get a message saying that it isn't compatible with Direct3D. I went to the dell website and looked around for the newest driver.
On my system info page, it says that I'm using a standard VGA graphics display.
just installed windows 7 ultimate because my old hardrive packed up on me, and now i find that my direct3d- directdraw-& agp acceleration are not available, can anyone advise me on how to enable them. enable & disable function not listed in my directx display.
[code] Lately my DirectX 11 disables itself. I have to reboot to fix it. The last time it happened Aero was still working. I turned off Aero and turned it on again and it doesn't work. In dxdiag, DirectDraw, Direct3D, and Texture all are disabled. DDI Version also shows as Unknown. I restarted and all is fine. I have had Windows 7 for about a month now and this has only happened the past 1-2 weeks. My ATI drivers are from Asus and are 8.703.Is there any other information I should look for and post?
I'm using window's virtual pc in xp mode. I'm having a problem on the direct3d since it doesn't have any videocard installed. I'm planning to run a dual client of a game and it is legal in the game. How do i solve the error on direct3d problem.
how can i enable my direct3d acceleration if the enable dialogue box is not available? My unit is Presario CQ42, Windows7 OS, and I have ATI Radeon Graphics HD4200 Video card.
I've recently reinstalled Windows 7 (32-bit Ultimate). It seems there is some problem with 3D stuff on any OS I try. After the setup, when it was checking the video performance it crashed as well. And now every time I try to run that program which gives you system's rating in Windows 7 it crashes within a few seconds (on Running Direct3D Aero Assessment). If I try to play any games it crashes almost immediately as well but other than that everything seems to be working perfectly fine. I can watch movies and browse the internet on Chrome for hours (weirdly it crashes on Firefox after some time...) I had the same problem on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows Vista Home Premium x32 as well... And all Event Viewer is showing is that ID 41 Error which doesn't really tell anything. :/ Before all these Vista and Windows 7 installations I used Windows XP and it seemed to be working pretty good but it would crash on certain games too.
I've tried changing back to XP but everytime I try to install it I get a BSOD telling me to run checkdisk (I've used 2 different CDs to try and install it because I thought maybe some files on my CD were corrupt or something but I got the same BSOD). I ran chkdsk and it didn't find any problems. I'm not really good with computers scomputer specs:Intel Core Duo 2.20GhzATI Mobility Radeon HD 45704GB RAMWindows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit
I am using the intel i7 2600k processor with the built-in hd3000 video. I tried playing Mass Effect 2 and got an error saying Direct3D could not be accessed because youy computer is locked. I am running directx 11 according to my dxdiag run, run i believe hd3000 does not support this. Is there a way to downgrade to a lower version of directx or fix this issues another way?
After reinstalling Windows 7, I've never been able to play a single video game on my computer (really defeating the purpose of an Alienware). When I try to run Unreal Tournament 2004, the error message reads CRITICAL ERROR: Please enable Direct3D acceleration. You can do this by starting dxdiag and enabling it in Display tab after installing DirectX 8.1b (or later) and latest drivers. Woohoo. So I went to dxdiag, and it says that DirectDraw Acce;, Direct3D Accel, and AGP Texture Accel are all disabled. I went to see what the graphics card is, because I forget...and Windows can't even tell me what card it is. I have no clue. Also, I can't even use the ethernet port on the computer to hard wire a internet connection; I have to use my wireless usb plug in from Netgear.
I 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 just upgraded my computer with a new OCZ 120GB SSD.I wanted to connect my original HDD, two 500GB WD 7200rpm.However, when I connect all three hard drives on my mobo, SSD does not appear on bios. If I connect just the SSD, it shows up, and if I connect just HDD, it shows up as well.However, I cannot find SSD from boot up priority menu if HDD is also connected.There are only three choices: HDD, DVD Drive, and Floppy disk... which I do not have.
I'm going to upgrade my Dell XPS 420's RAM (Computer memory upgrades for Dell XPS 420 Desktop/PC from Crucial.com) from 3 gigs (2x1GB & 2x512MB) to 8 gigs. Will two kits of Newegg.com - AllComponents 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model AC2/800X64/4096-KIT work even though it is a dual channel kit? Also, according to the Crucial website this is the fastest RAM my motherboard can use, is this correct?
I've recently got back into playing System Shock 2 and I have been trying to set up my XBOX 360 controller to use . So far I do have my button configuration saved BUT,when I load to play SystemShcok 2 it doesn't recognize my XPadder set up? 1) Is Xdder compatible with Windows 7 and if so, 2) Maybe I just have the folder in the wrong place.
