Ok, I'm growing very desperate for answers and stumbled upon all you experts, hopefully someone can help me. I downloaded the WoW beta and started it up to play. I got a message notifying me that it was unable to start my 3d accelerator and suggested I ensure that I have directx 9 and all updated drivers. I did the dxdiag thing in my run box and saw that I'm already running on dx 9.0c, must be the drivers right? Then I go to the "display" tab of the diagnostic box and I notice that all of the directx features such as "3d accelerator" and "direct draw" are all unavailable..There are buttons that I COULD click on to enable them but they're greyed out. I'm running on a presario 2100 and my graphics card is a Radeon IGP 320M. Is there anyone that knows how to activate my 3d accelerator?? I see others playing on my exact graphics card that just had minor problems, but atleast they can start the game.. SOMEONE HELP PLZ! Thanks,
Mal. |

Did you check the minimum requirments for the game? It is possible (and likely) that you graphics card does not support something that WoW needs to run... |

Well actually, turned out to be my lack of a driver. Now that I have the driver all my directx features work! My problem now is that right when I tell the game to start, my screen turns blue with a lot of white gibberish and the whole HD crashes. I think this has to do with my graphics settings.. however I'm not sure how I should alter them to get the game to work. |

You need to get your drivers online. Your DX version is completely different than your drivers version. I assume you should be able to get the latest drivers off http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html . I assume it is a pretty old card, and it probably doesn't support any new features (like shaders) so it may not run well, if at all. |
