just yesterday i purchased a new graphics card (an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO, AGP). its seemed to install fine, and i was able to download the software from the CD, and then change the graphics preferences from the control center. But when i tried to play World of Warcraft, the screen came back to my desktop with an error saying "world of warcraft could not start up 3D acceleration".

it wasnt only this game, however...i cannot play any game that requires DirectX. I made sure i had DirectX 9.0C installed, and i tested it and everything.

one thing i found, however, was while testing it, the test failed on Direct 3D. it said "test failed at step 8 (creating 3D devices)."

i unplugged the graphics card, and tried it that way...and it works! world of warcraft plays...and there is no error code in Direct 3D, but with the card in, my games wont play.

help!

I removed my working hard drive from my laptop since it contained a lot of my pictures which i needed. I put it tinto a hard drive case and on connecting it via usb it fails to show up on my computer. However the usb port recognises it and when I go into disk management it shows me the drive which isnt formatted and asks me to partition it - I will loose all data should i do this... WHAT DO I DO ????

I wanted to know if this new system can also work with DirectX 9- based sound card, although many consumer electronics company like Creative don't have plans to make a new DirectX 10-based sound card.

I have had a Sony Viao RB53X for about a year and a half now. Last December for Christmas I recieved 1gig of RAM to install. When I did, my BIOs chip went bad and I had to get a secondary hard drive installed and a new BIOS chip.

Well I've had problems with the onboard video chip, (Intel Graphics Media Accelerater Driver) and got a GeForce 5400FX last February. About 5 months ago it went bad and my computer was having problems and would overheat and shut-down.

I replaced the 5400FX with an nVidia GeForce 8500GT about 4 months ago.

Today I restarted my PC and it beeped twice as usual, but the monitor gave me a "cable not connected" error. I unplugged the monitor form the video card and into the onboard Intel chip and it came on.

So now I have the same problem that I had with my bad 5400FX and it won't register the 8500GT card. I've tried installing newest drivers but it tells me it cannot locate the hardware.

Any ideas on what the problem might be, and how to fix it?

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with a 305w power supply
Do I need to upgrade my power supply to run this graphics card.

I've never had any problems with my power supply before.

Also, does any PC power supply work with any PC?

Thanks

I think it is time for me to ditch my onboard graphics on my computer and have a real GPU. I was thinking of getting Nvidia or ATI Graphics. Either way I will buy a card with 256 MB of VRAM. So which is better I mostly play The Sims 2 w/ many Expansions and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.

I already tried changing the batteries and it wasn't that. Someone used the computer before me and the right click was working fine.

The two parts that im looking to upgrade first are the ram and the processor. My problem with the ram is that the ram card does not fit into the slot on my 98... and then for the processor, doing the hardware install should be easy enough, but once i turn on the computer will there be software problems or anything that i need to install? I want to be able to use this computer for world of warcraft, which at some point will require me to get a better graphics card i no.
