Default Direct3D functionality not available (again)

The low video memory readout seems to indicate that AGP is not functioning
correctly. Maybe the GART driver isn't kicking in... VIA offers a set of
"retro" chipset drivers for older KT266 boards like yours:

You are installing everything in administrator mode, right?

Thanks. I just tried that but it hasn't worked.


I have just checked the DirectX settings using PCWizard
(www.cpuid.org).
The hardware settings don't look too healthy ...
