Hello all,

Running Windows XP Pro now i might have got this bit wrong i think its
a RADEON X300 series, my problem is most of my screensavers wont work
and my external Aver TV USB tuner wont work either.

The message i get with the screensavers is could not find any
compatible Direct3D devices.

Any help will be great, thanks in advance.

Install a driver update from the manufacturer's homepage.

Well, thanks for the feedback. However, the hardware acceleration is set
to maximum by default. Therefore, someone has changed that setting in
the past - most likely in order to fix another problem.
