How to enable direct draw/direct 3d on rage IIC agp graphics cards
You could try to reinstall directx again.

How to enable direct draw/direct 3d on rage IIC agp graphics cards
It's possible. However, I believe that it's not simple to uninstall DirectX.
(There are some thrid-party utilities that are supposed to do that, bu I haven't tried them.) He might also try to re-install the drivers for the graphics card. I assume that he's using XP, as you've posted in an XP-related group. ATI (www.ati.com) recommends the drivers included with XP. (I didn't realize that a Rage IIc was *that* old.) He may have to change the drivers to generic VGA ones, and then back to the Rage ones. Good luck. Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

How to enable direct draw/direct 3d on rage IIC agp graphics cards
Sir,
go to --" Display Properties"-- Settings-- advanced-- Trouble shoot -- slide "Hardware acceleration" to FULL-- enable "write combining" -- apply, OK now install Direct X Again, this will fix your problem, also try in start menu -- run command -- "dxdiag.exe" and perform direct x test for agp acceleration and direct draw.
