go to start then run///type dxdiag. That is the utility to tell ya what direct x ya have and also to test to make sure it works properly...
edward2 I have a x300 (DirectX 9.0c) and it works great with settings set at the highest for all games except BF2:SP, for that I run at medium. BF2 and FEAR run on high with no problems at all. And I don't oc any. I have a P4 540 HT @ 3.2Ghz dual proc, 1GB pc3200 400Mhz ddr ram. My comp is a stock Vaio VGC-RA820G. Aym3n Just a thought, if you start having a problem with a game/video card and you have OC'd, reset everything back to default and try it. Another good tip, Norton GoBack, (software-wise fix). Sounds like something needs to be replaced if you have reset your card/settings and it still wont work. Hope you got some money over the holidays
DUDE!!! #1 way to fix a problem is take out your video card and put it back in.... i once did that cuz my graphic card was acting wierd and i took it out and put it back in and after the instalation stuff my video card was running better than the day i got it.... TRUE STORY some wierd stuff happen to my comp... hey btw do any of u guys know why it takes my comp like 5 seconds to open up the thing when i right-click on the desktop... also my CPU % raises by 20-30% when i do.... its pissin the hell out of me since all my other comps at my house that are like 2 or 3 yrs old open it up right when i press it... and the cpu goes up 1% max! ITS FREAKIN ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
