Every time I try to play any games, they unexpectedly drops to the desktop.
I have recently updated to SP1 and installed the most recent ATI drivers for my 7200 graphic card.
I've tried uninstalling these drivers but no joy. I have re-installed XP pro then SP1 with no joy.
I can’t pinpoint what is causing this. I can be playing Links 2003 in the evening, leave my PC on over night, then play again the following evening and it won’t work?
I've tried turning off screen saver and running a diagnostic on DirectX.
The only thing I have to go on is that Links Golf 2003 reports that theirs a problem with 3D acceleration. Also when trying to run the DirectX "Test Direct3D" it fails saying I pressed a key and candled the test.....which i didn't!
I have a Logitech cordless keyboard, so I removed the batteries and ran it again, still with no joy.
HELP PLEASE!!!
Athlon 1800+
512 DDR
XP pro, SP1
ATI 7200 64Mb vivo
Creative Live drive
Thanks in advance.
