    direct x 10

    I have Direct X 10 installed on my computer & it worked fine until a few days
    ago. When trying to play a game that uses Direct X I now get a message
    "Warning no 3D hardware acceleration found. Your graphics card my not
    support 3D acceleration or you Direct X version may be out of date." I can't
    find a way to fix this problem & don't know what to do. I went to the Direct
    X diagnostic tool & under display the 3D accleration shows up as not
    available. I went to graphics acceleration & then to troubleshoot to get to
    the change settings but i'm not allowed to click on change settings. All I
    get is " you current display driver does no allow changes to be made to
    hardware accelration settings." How can I get Direct X 10 to work again &
    fix this problem? Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    You need to download and install the latest Windows Vista drivers
    for your video card adapter.
