Here are some test results. Test direct3d using 7x okay Test direct 3d using 8x Failure at step 5(GetDeviceCaps):HRESULT 0x8876086a(3d not available) dxdia shows 8.1 at the bottom of page but under version heading they are all 5.01 2600 except for a few which say 6.0 majority of dates 19/08/01 Yes I have the latest drivers for my ti4200 card and have had a replacement ga-7vrxp installed everything was ok till I changed my h/d from slave to master.(Recommended.....??)
