ok easy tital not so easy of a problem i have looked everyone and i cant finda a solution.

Ok every time i try and start a direct3d game i get an error that crashes me to the desktop. I looked up how to fix it and it said to turn up hardware acceleration I go to do this and it is faded out it wont let me getinto the screen to fix it.

I have abit ip-35e
q6600
evga 8800gts 320
4 gigs of ram
windows vista 64 bit (if i run windows xp 64 bit it works fine)

if i run sisoftware and bring up directx it shows as if i have no 3d hardware accelration.
but it does work in windows xp 64 bit

display properties/settings (where you set resolution & all) / advanced/ troubleshoot/ hardware acceleration, drag all the way to the right

edit: sorry, i read you had xp
well, you can still go look there - with any luck they haven't moved it

i cant change the acceleration its greyed out and says your current display driver doesnt allow changes to be made (says the same thing with different drivers installed.

2. i did download the latest drivers and im still haveing the isssue. it seems like alot of people have this issue with vista and 8800 gts cards
