3D accelerator issue

[hecktick]

I recently formated my computer which I've done in the past with no issues and for some reason after i update everything my 3D accelerator doesnt seem to work and I'm guessing because i dont have the proper software installed.

in the dxdiag program when i test Direct3D i get nothing but errors

if anyone could please help me out i'd appreciate it very much

what do you mean your 3d accelerator doesn't seem to work ? Have you tried to install/update your video card drivers ?

Give us more info about your computer hardware, windows version drivers etc...

Hmm the most important thing would be to post the hardware you have like motherboard, name of the 3d accelerator (on-board or card).

I got windows xp and its updated to service pack 2, my video card is a raedon x700. I went through the amd website to get my driver for the card and got directX 10 aswell. I dont knw anything about my motherboard its old lol. Dxdiag just runs into errors when i try to test the 3d and games tell me that my 3d accelerator cant be found and i should update my graphics driver and get the lastest version of directX
