When i test Direct3D in dxdiag it fails all 3 tests! All i
see is a garbled picture of what is suppose to be a
spinning cube!! This problem has only just manifested
itself....it was fine before. I have made no changes to my
pc since i last tested Direct3D. DirectDraw passes all tests.

Graphic card drivers are up to date. I am still unable to
run games like UT2004 using Direct3D....it is only the
dxdiag test that fails.

Has anyone got any ideas?? Would a reinstall of Windows XP
solve this?

Try uninstalling your graphics card then letting windows find ur hardware
again then reinstalling.
You could also in the mean time if u wanted to run games like ut2004 in
opengl.
