Hardware acceleration and Direct X

I could not find this post elsewhere, but I can't get my directdraw to enable or mess with my hardware acceleration.

Its just not active...any suggestions would be great.

Latest Drivers Wiped and reinstalled all around.

Regedit timeout is at 7

Nothing seems to change it, ANY suggestions would be great, thanks.

I downloaded and loaded the latest, and older, drivers from both Nvidia and EVGA, my card manufacturer. Non of which has fixed the issue. Everything reads fine, as to the correct versions, but it always remains with the same problems.

Are there some sort of special privileges that I am missing, or possibly an included program with my card that controls these functions instead of windows?

I have installed everything I can find from the Card Manufacturer and chip Manufacturer, I have updated my board bios to the latest and so on, but nothing seems to make ANY difference.

Re: Hardware acceleration and Direct X

dont worry about hardware acceleration you cant change it anyway , its a hardware thing its managed internally

i assume you tried...........

Download details: DirectX End-User Runtime

one more thing......do you have onboard graphics? did you disable them properly?
