However, both friends fixed their problems. Suprisingly, this same problem happened to 2 other of my friends when they installed new monitors. I brought it up right after installing the new monitor to see how it'd look, but after a few days, I came back to it, and Direct3D wouldn't initialize. Um, the biggest change to the system I can remember closest to when this problem occured was when I installed a new monitor on the system. I've tried other solutions too, just can't remember them right now.

I've disabled the secondary driver on my Radeon 9250, because I read somewhere that Direct3D will only work on one graphics card at a time. There is no registry problem with some remote desktop program getting in the way and blocking these two from running. I have made sure the registry shows Direct3D and DirectDraw as activated I have done a clean install of new video drivers, including wipping off the driver off my card before installing the new one, however, my attempt might have only partly clears the driver off my computer, so if you have any suggestions on how to more fully do this, please let me know. I have reinstalled DirectX (The lastest, however, not the full, paid version that comes with Windows, even though my Windows is a legit copy, though old) I have checked to make sure all hardware accelerations are all on. I've been trying to DIY this for the past couple of days and have tried a few things:

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)Īnyways. Language: English (Regional Setting: English) Here's my system specs off of the dxdiag:

I'm running it using Catalyst ATI Control Center, and whatever driver's it contains in there. I run the dxdiag, click the display button, and all the buttons on the bottom are grayed out except the Test DirectDraw. Like the title says, my computer won't activate Direct3D for whatever reasons.
