Graphics card has stopped working

All of a sudden my graphics card (Direct 3D to be more precise) will not work. When I test Direct3D in dxdiag, I get the following message: Direct 3D Test Results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x8007000e (Out of memory)

I have tried re-intalling the drivers but this did not solve the problem. I cannot load any games or anything which requires graphic card support up.

The laptop is 1 1/2 years old, 1GHz Processor, 128MB RAM and the graphics card used to work. It is a 16MB: Trident Video Accelerator Cyberblade XP Ai1 v6.4022-016B.221CDNP. Please help me!
