P phil22 Dignified Apr 26, 2012 3,850 0 15,460 Dec 29, 2012 #2 Two possible reasons: 1) You need to install a later version of DirectX from Microsoft (DirectX includes Direct 3D drivers): http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35 2) The screensaver in question is a 3D one, and your graphics adapter does not support 3D. #2 however is very unlikely on a new or fairly new PC or laptop. #1 is the most likely reason, so I would update DirectX.
