When the screen saver kicks in, the message
"could not find a compatible Direct3D device" comes up.
How do I fix this?

Thanks

Right-click on your desktop and select:
Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot
and move the Hardware Acceleration slider to "Full",
then click "Apply".

Afterward, right-click on your Desktop and select:
Properties > Setting and adjust your Screen Resolution
settings, then select "Highest (32 bit) Color Quality setting,
and click "apply".

Go to your Start Menu, Run, type dxdiag, click on Display tab at the top,
click on Test Direct3D.

If Test Direct3D is grayed out, this means your system does not have drivers
loaded for your card or you do have drivers loaded, but your card does not
support D3D.

Thanks
