Dear Rick Rogers,

thanks for your response.

I would like to draw your attention to the below extract of the Win XP
Dxdiag report as posted earlier

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Display Tab 1: No problems found. 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: All tests were successful.

Does your suggestion still hold in the light of the above.

Regards

Rajesh

Hi,

The onboard video likely does not support DX9, and may not be supported at
all in Vista. Fortunately for you, this particular board also has an AGP
slot so you can at least add a Vista-compatible video card. If you do, you
will likely need to disable the on-board video in the system BIOS or by
means of a jumper on the motherboard.
