DirectX issues
 

I cannot start the Windows DVD maker and Movie maker in Vista. I get the
message that the video card does not support DirectX. Dxdiag both in Win XP
SP2 and Vista report no problems.

Extract of Dxdiag report in Win XP SP2 is as below:-

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.

To support DX9 under Vista requires a different driver set than in XP, and
this is where it falls down.
