(I of course downloaded the win 2k/xp drivers) and now I have no direct 3d... with bolth tabs for my graphics card in my advanced options in display properties... what gives? anyone else have this problem before? or anyone that can help me trouble shoot it?

Valrus go to your card manufacturer's site and download the latest driver from there if you didn't already. Uninstall the old driver. Reboot and when it detects the card on re-boot direct it to the folder containing the new driver. When you get the not signed prompt just tell it to continue. Many times manufacturers simply haven't gotten the latest drivers approved yet.

If it doesn't prompt you to install a driver check the download and see if there is a setup.exe or go to display/settings/advanced/display adapter and click update driver. Windows even XP will sometimes think it doesn't need any input from you.

Sounds like the driver just didn't properly install.
