Video Card Troubles

[Disque]

Hey, I have been having a problem with my video card and I was wandering if anyone could help me with it.

Whenever I try to open a game it gives me an error.

The first error is that it says I need 32 mb to play the game, andit's tells me that my computer has 0, when I know thats not the case. The computer IS recognizing that I have a video card.

The second is the computer saying it cant initialize DirectX.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Just a quick Edit, the first error happens with Planetside, the second with Diablo. I don't get an error however when I try to play Team Fortress Classic(a Half Life mod).

Have you tried reinstalling DirectX?

Sounds like an excuse to buy a brand-spanking new, top of the line video card.

Heh, I don't have the funds to spare.

And yes, I just tried re-installing DirectX, and it didn't help.

What video card do you have? OS? Directx version?

Nvidia GeForce Ti 4400

Ok, so I've now found out that Dirext X will not install on my computer. It will go through the whole process and look like it's installing lots of files and such, but when I go to check the folder, it's empty.

And I ran a video test on Diablo and it's not finding any video modes.

I suggest installing the latest drivers for your card.

If that doesn't work, I suggest you use this to put fear into the card. Usually just brandishing it will make the computer work properly.
