Vista - DirectX not detected...video card problem

I have tried to run several applications and games that require directx
(GTA2, Worms Armageddon for example) and I keep on getting a message on
either the installation or when I run the game that I need directx 6 or
above. I know that Vista RC1 has directx 10 and I have tried using directx
9.0c, and I even tracked down V.6, but each time the same thing happens.
This is probably related to this, but I have a ATI Raedon 9250 and windows
sees this fine, but when I look at the graphics section of the system rating,
it says 0mb for the total graphics memory, dedicated system memory, dedicated
graphics memory and shared system memory.
I want to add that windows detects my card as a DX 9.0 or later capable
card, and I have tried the latest drivers from ATI.
What the hell is going on??

2.2Ghz Celeron
384mb RAM
Raedon 9250 with 256mb of Video memory

Your graphics card is only Direct X8 capable.
