directx help
Ok I am having problems with my directx driver and I need help.
For some reason unknown to me almost all of my games can't start because the following directx features are not working:Directdraw acceleration,direct3d acceleration,and AGP texture acceleration.
I did test directdraw and that work as it should.
So what do you think the problem is?

I've had problems with my computer being too old to run games I tried running Spore on a 2.8ghz laptop, but the graphics "card" wasn't good enough, having 16mb of dedicated video RAM

why would you get driver detective? just update the drivers manually

quite possable but i dont really want to think about that.......
Could be: Drivers need updating to work with newer games Drivers corrupted Funky virus (maybe...) I'd just reinstall the drivers and see if that doesn't fix it.

im thinking its corrupted drivers and updating well updating will make counter strike work
That sounds like the most likely scenario to me. Try it and see!
