Next they'll be a window called "Save As". By default this points to your
desktop. You can change the location by typing a different path in the
"File Name" box near the bottom of the window.
For now save it to your desktop by clicking the Save button. There should
be a new icon on your desktop called "DxDiag.txt". Double click the icon
and it will open up in notepad or whatever your default text editor is
(MSWord, WordPerfect, etc). Then clip out the section labeled "System
Information" and "Display devices" from the file and post it in a reply to
this message. I've include a sample from my own machine for you to compare
to. This will tell us how much memory your computer has, how fast the
processor is, what display card you're using and the version of the driver.
