Problem with Directx 8.1

Hi,

I'm having a problem running Spiderman - the movie and GTA3, whenever I click either icon on my desktop nothing happens.

I tested dx with dxdiag and got the following message when testing hardware-accelerated dx8 interfaces:

Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)

Machine specs from dxdiag report:
