I cannot get DirectX 6 to work properly with my computer. I tried 2 different video cards, both for Windows 95 and both with recent drivers. When I run dxdiag.exe, I get: Microsoft Direct Draw Your Display driver is not Windows95 compatible. DirectDraw only supports Windows95 compatible drivers. Like I said I have WIndows95 drivers for my video card. In fact the card says its for Windows95. I go to the Display tab in dxdiag.exe and click on the test. I get the same error again. This is what gets displayed in the notes window: No driver problems found. DirectDraw test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectDrawCreate): HRESULT = 0x887600de Direct3D test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectDrawCreate): HRESULT = 0x887600de I also ran dxdinfo.exe and I have the results at the end of this message. I tried de-installing my drivers, removing DirectX going back to VGA in Safe Mode, reinstalling Drivers, rebooting, reinstalling DirectX in safe mode and it still won't work. Ultimatly I am trying to play a game that needs DirectX 5 or higher called Starcraft. Its gotta be something setup incorrectly somewhere. Have any suggestions? Thanks -Colin R.

Hello, I seem to have a similar problem. Direct x game crash when direct x is enabled. The Dxdiag also crashes while testing direct draw. I've re-installed all the lates drivers, de-installed and re-installed direct x. I've even de-installed and re-installed multimedia and windows 98 using windows setup and my windows 98 cd. I have a STB velocity 128 video card. I called STB tech support and they advise me that microsoft's official fix for this is to reformat your hard drive and re-install windows (95 or 98) - ouch!! According to STB tech support, the codec drivers have become corrupted and simply re-installing windows will not overwrite the corrupted dll files. This SUCKS doesn't it?? I'm almost ready to do the reformat thing myself - I've been trying other things for the past 6 hours - I hate spending my time this way! Well, I hope this helps. -Mike.
