I had issues playing video media files, and using ddraw
and d3d apps. Using troubleshoot, I found an issue, that
Microsoft claims as "fix" to the problem. THis is
reducing the Hardware Acceleration in system, finally
down to point where most ddraw and d3d support has been
disabled. What surprised me was that the troubleshoot
support claimed that now I should be fine.

Be fine how? If my 3D acceleration using apps dont run
well. I cant get that...

I am running Athlon 2400+, GF4 Ti4200 8X AGP and Windows
XP as OS, using all updates plus SP1, and DirectX 9b.
Drivers for my VGA card are the latest, and supported by
WHQL.

Any suggestions?
 
He's something for you to check. I had video playback problems on my PC for
a while and it turned out to have nothing to do with the video card or
updates. Somehow my hard drive was not set to use DMA mode. Check in device
manager under IDE controllers. In the advanced tab make sure use 'DMA if
available' is selected for transfer mode. That cured the problem for me.
 
Nah, DMA if available, are all set. Im not sure really
what my problem is, but it has got something to do with
directx for sure. Not sure though, all so crazy for me...
Any other help?
