I have been having a problem loading a game which requires DirectX 9.0, I ran the DirectX Diagnostic; which came up this this message: Hardware accelerated Direct3D 9+ is not avilable because the driver does not support it. You may be able to get a new driver from the hardware manufacturer. DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful. Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful Direct3D 8 test results: All tests were successful Direct3D 9 test results: Display driver does not support API (DDI version too low). I am fairly computer illiterate with computer hardware and was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on my pending predicament. If any other info. is required so that I may pinpoint the problem please, by all means, let me know. Thank you. nich7579
