Default Why can't use Direct3D?


I tried games that came with vista (cool) but it tells that it can't start
Direct3D.
I have NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 is it enough for this?
Thanks
Shimon.

A lot of games seem to have this error from some of the newsgroup - I think
a lot of these troubles will be fixed by the next CTP or Beta 2.

If he has forced Glass on incompatible drivers, he won't be able to run a
D3D app with it on.
