Directx Problem Solved
Good to hear that you've fixed the problem.
And such a simply remedy in the end too. "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message nk.net... I would like to post this after some of you went to a lot of trouble to help me with a problem in directx dxdiag. It isn't often I get a chance to help someone else, and it's a pleasure for me to be able to post what was the final solution to the issue. I sincerely hope it helps someone else. Problem was in dxdiag not passing the display tests in 3D and direct draw. This was a problem in several versions of directx, several video drivers, and several different cards. Thanks to several people on this group taking their time to post to me on his issue, I was able to isolate at least partially what was happening. After moving the video card out of PCI slot 1 into another slot and isolating a single IRQ to the video card, things started to improve, but the tests still were failing in dxdiag. I finally found the problem and the solution tonight. It was the REFRESH RATE on the monitor, a Dell P991. Dell had told me a year and a half ago to put the refresh rate at 100, which I did. On a web search tonight, I just happened on a post from someone who had solved a similar problem by reducing the refresh rate on the monitor to 75, which I understand is a normal setting anyway. I reduced it to 75 and the issue was solved instantly. All the tests now pass again and again with no problems. So if any of you folks have a problem in dxdiag with the tests not passing, try looking at the refresh rate on your monitor. I would like to thank this group for being here when I needed you, and I sincerely hope this solution helps someone out there who might need a helping hand just like I did.
