How do I find specific damaged files If I dont know their names?

Question

I have had these errors: 0x00010ded, 3D functionality not available, can't find hardware acceleration Video Card device, and so on.

I have win xp home, servpack2, pent4.

I have 512mb ram, and lots of virtual added.

I have done all the maintainance, I have done all trouble shooters I could think of.

I have tried to re-instal the graphics driver from the motherboard cd, but that failed due to missing or damaged files needed for installation.
no aditional info on which files are missing or damaged.

If anyone knows how to proceed to fix this or learn more about the problem I am having, please tell me?

maintainance and other I tried: bugdoctor, windows care prof and personal, tune up utilities, regscrubxp, hitmanpro and defragmentation. msconfig and dx diag. (just hoping somewhere to find a simple, easily solvable little fault....)

Answer 1

The error you speak of, "0x00010ded, 3D functionality not available, can't find hardware acceleration Video Card device", means the video card you currently are using doesn't support the operation you are attempting to do. Upgrading your Video Card will solve that but you will also want to upgrade your RAM as well if possible to help offset graphics work (depending on the Video Card you upgrade to of course).
