    [​IMG] Well, up until about a week (or two?) ago, my system was running fine. My graphics card is a
    GeForce 6600GT, and I've been running DirectX 9.0c for quite a while now.
    I'm pretty sure I've got the latest nVIDIA drivers. Like I said, it's been working fine.

    Running DXDIAG, it says that both DirectDraw and Direct3D Acceleration are enabled. But, running the Test of the 3D Acceleration shows that it's not working. So, I'm quite certain my 3D Acceleration isn't working anymore.
    I don't know what I did, and running a System Restore hasn't fixed it.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or is it time I bought a new card? :o

    Both Albatron and nVIDIA Tech Support offer little to no help.

    EDIT:Well, after a lot of trial and error...I eventually got a (dun dun duuunn)....Blue Screen.

    ...The problem seems to be with a file called
    nv4_disp.dll. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Well...even if you have the latest drivers, have you tried to re-install them?

    If that doesn't work, try rolling back to the previous version of the driver. :rolling:
