I uninstalled SP2 and I now have the AGP Texture Acceleration back, but the Direct3D tests still fail

No, no problem is listed under any of the other dxdiag tabs and all other dxdiag tests work. Also, the performance tab you mention has the slider all the way to right.

Yes, as I mentioned in my first post, I installed the latest VIA 4-in-1 to update AGP drivers. And I've tried every nvidia driver available, even the ones that came with my card and originally worked. I think I'm going to have to try uninstalling SP2 or DirectX 9.0c... neither of which I really want to do.

I've already tried that (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=812491) and it didn't fix the problem.

The motherboard is a Soltek SL-75DRV5 supporting 4x AGP as you said. I have the latest BIOS update from the manufacturer. The video card is said to support 8x/4x and is brand new (as of yesterday), as I was hoping this would solve my problem. I previously had a Ti4200 (also 8x/4x) which worked up until the reformat. The power supply is a 350W (not sure of brand, but it wasn't expensive ). I don't have a spare to test unfortunately.

I can't get any Direct3d games to work. When I go to dxdiag it shows: DDraw Status: Enabled D3D Status: Enabled AGP Status: Not Available (<-- problem!?) When I run the D3D tests I get: D3D7 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code) D3D8 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) D3D9 Test Result: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) How can I fix this problem? AMD 2000+ 512mb ram Geforce 6600GT 128mb Windows XP SP2 DirectX 9.0c I have tried up[censored] to latest VIA chipset drivers and latest nvidia drivers (as suggested in some other forums) but this hasn't fixed the problem. I haven't been able to get this to work since reformatting my PC a couple of months ago. It worked for me before the reformat so it wouldn't be a videocard/hardware problem (plus I tried 2 other different video cards in my PC and I still get the same problem). Only difference I can see is that I installed Windows XP SP2 after the format, whereas I only had SP1 before it. PLEASE HELP!? I'm desperate!
