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. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Rajesh" wrote in message ...

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.

To support DX9 under Vista requires a different driver set than in XP, and
this is where it falls down. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Rajesh" wrote in message ...
