your posting is unclear but if running Direct 3D is your problem run dxdiag from a run command...make sure that both Direct Draw and Direct 3D Acceleration are enabled under the Display tab...run the Direct 3D Test...if you get an error when running that test...go to your desktop..right click...go to Properties...Settings...Advanced...Pick the tab with your card...go to Additional Properties...Pick Direct 3D Settings...down where it has PCI Texture Memory Size...change it to the lowest number it will go, run the test again...and then work up from there.
