DirectX not detected...video card problem
I have tried to run several applications and games that require directx
(GTA2, Worms Armageddon for example) and I keep on getting a message on either the installation or when I run the game that I need directx 6 or above. I know that Vista RC1 has directx 10 and I have tried using directx 9.0c, and I even tracked down V.6, but each time the same thing happens. This is probably related to this, but I have a ATI Raedon 9250 and windows sees this fine, but when I look at the graphics section of the system rating, it says 0mb for the total graphics memory, dedicated system memory, dedicated graphics memory and shared system memory. I want to add that windows detects my card as a DX 9.0 or later capable card, and I have tried the latest drivers from ATI. What the hell is going on?? 2.2Ghz Celeron 384mb RAM Raedon 9250 with 256mb of Video memory
