Default GetAvailableVidMem() returns DDERR_NODIRECTDRAWHW

Hi

The problem details a

Setup:
--------
I have a Windows Vista Home Premium machine with Intel Graphics card.
The DirectX version 10.

Problem:
-------------
When I run my application which uses the API GetAvailableVidMem the
application
gives an error "A hardware only DirectDraw object creation was attempted but
the
driver did not support any hardware."

Analysis:
--------------
When I run dxdiag.exe on my machine,in the Display Tab it shows me
DirectDraw Accleleration
and AGP Texture Acceleration-Not Avialble.I think the problem is because of
this(I think so
because when a disabled DirectDraw Accleleration on another machine with
Windows Xp and
DirectX 9.0C it gave me the same error)

Help Required:
----------------------
Am I thinking in the right direction?
How do I overcome this problem?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
