Good question! I'm not at MY computer right now so this is from memory. I
get an error message that says something like "can not open application
because of 3D.... direct draw..." or something close to that. I have run my
directxdiag tests and everything is fine. I went to my video card setting
and made sure everythig was correct. I even restored my computer... when I
did that everything worked again. I turned off my "auto update" and it still
"auto updated"! And again, no 3D games will work =(
