install Microsoft plus

[Hthao]

Hello there,
After I install misrosoft plus to my system and update
the screen saver, I got a message "could not find any
compatible DIRECT3D devices." I tried many different ways
but still doesn't work. Is anyone could help me to resolve
the problem?

Direct 3D is an API for manipulating and displaying three-dimensional
objects. Developed by Microsoft, Direct3D provides programmers with a way to
develop 3-D programs that can utilize whatever graphics acceleration device
is installed in the machine. Virtually all 3-D accelerator cards for PCs
support Direct3D.

To run Plus! apps I'm pretty sure you need a graphics card with at least 32
MB of memory.

Right-click on your desktop and select:
Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot
and move the Hardware Acceleration slider to "Full",
then click "Apply".

Actually 16mb is the minimum requirement for the graphics adapter.

You wrote a book on XP-Pro as a users guide, and you cannot post the =
minimum specs for Plus!
