compatible direct3d devices?
Hello-
Does anybody know why we are getting these bogus messages from windows XP? system: HP XW4100 pentium4 3.0GHz with Nvidia Quadro4-380 XGL graphics driver: 52.16 and 56.72 attempt to use 3d Windows XP screensaver: "could not find any compatible direct3d devices" run dxdiag: all Direct3D tabs are greyed out. Hardware Acceleration slider is already at "Full", Already searched google and tried all suggestions, nothing gets Direct3D back. Many people have experienced this problem, no solution in sight. These are new systems, there is no reason that we should be seeing "could not find any compatible direct3d devices" messages! Thanks PS |

I downloaded and installed the latest Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility, but it didn't fix the problem. 3D Windows XP screensaver still doesn't work, "could not find any compatible direct3d devices". dxdiag: all Direct3D settings are greyed out. any other ideas? Is there a better way to get at "northbridge" drivers? thanks |

Is there a better way to get at "northbridge" drivers? thanks that would have been my guess how to solve it. You could go to the motherboard manufacturers website and download the AGP driver on its own and see if you can install it. failing that I don't know - hit it with a hammer. |
