Okay, Direct X is being norty. I try and open a game and it gives an error that "Should never happen and can't be fixed", the game being Narbacular Drop. I ignore it, thinking something botched during install. To test, I open up WoW... it has an error message, too. "World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D accelleration. Please make sure DirectX9.0c is installed blah blah" I try STEAM games, and all of them shut down seconds after opening. I try Warcraft III, it says "Warcraft III was unable to initialize DirectX. Please make sure DirectX8.1 or higher blah blah" I restart my computer, reinstall Direct X 9.0c, re install my drivers, everything. I am completely stumped as to what the problem is. I tried running WoW in OpenGL mode, and it says the same error. Please help.

What does dxdiag say? Anything?

It says I have DirectX 9.0c :S

Go through the tabs, and run the tests. See if they run into any problems.

Direct X files tab: No problems found. Test directDraw: Full Pass Test Direct3D Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code) Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) Direct3D 9 test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available) Passed all other tests I think that Direct3D thing is a major porblem

Bump. Please help.

Well, I've never personally dealt with this problem, and a quick Google search turned up two things you can try: 1. Try reinstalling your video drivers 2. Try reinstalling DirectX.
