DirectX help?

Name: Anonymous 2005-12-18 13:59

Microsoft sucks, because they can't give me a definitive soution to my problem. So, I ask you /comp/, to help me.

I have an NVDIA Geforce 4 MX 64MB video card. It is DirectX 9 compatible, and never gave me problems in the past. I had spyware, so I restored my PC and reinstalled drivers and DirectX. Now I'm having a problem playing games I played on my computer before I restored it. Apparently, Direct3d is faulty. I tested it in DxDiag and the rotating blick turns into a peah and green blob when it tests DX 8. MS doesn't give me a solution other than to turn it off and now I can't play Civ4 or anything on the Source engine, because they check my Direct3d/Draw settings before launch and refuse to launch without the features enabled. I am 100% POSITIVE my graphics card can un these games, I ran them before restoring my PC. Any suggestions? (I've reinstalled my NVIDIA driver FIVE TIMES.)

Try older drivers, try DirectX versions from other sources (the one you installed from might be faulty).
