Stop making up terminology. WTF does "pixel formatting" mean? How do you
know directX is working? if your games aren't, maybe it isn't. Have you the
latest version? Are you running the latest driver for your card? Do you
receive any errors? If so, quote them verbatim. "Wont run" [/sic/] is too
vague for a diagnosis.

For future reference, do not post in all caps on Usenet. It's considered
yelling, is incredibly rude and makes your posts very hard to read.

You just posted this indicating how "rude" the poster was Is swearing (WTF)
considered rude? How about the abrasive tone of said post? You are rude.
Period.

Yes, we must all be politically correct and emotionally neutered to
strive towards being clones of each other. Sorry, that's not how Usenet
works.

Stop using that old ASCII terminal as your monitor. You need to fix
your computer because it is showing all caps when the actual text of the
message is NOT all caps. Neither wilpresto or Tick used all caps.

Tick does need, however, to update her canned list of articles regarding
how to post. The Microsoft article doesn't exist anymore.
