I'm having some issues at the moment with my graphics card.
I have an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro, and whenever I try to load a game that requires DirectX 9.0c it just opens then closes itself.
I ran the dxdiag tool and it got through DirectDraw fine, then when I try to do Direct3D every single test just fails. It's quite an old card, but I dont want to have to buy a new one as I don't play many games on the PC anymore.
This has been an issue since I got the latest drivers before I reformatted my computer about a month ago. So I'm thinking it might be the ATi Catalyst 7.1 drivers, but I just want a second opinion.
The games that won't open are:
Hellgate: London (Beta)
Half Life 2
Counter-Strike: Source
Hellgate is one that's really puzzling me, the 9600 Pro is a pixel shader 2.0 card, yet when I try to start up hellgate it's telling me i'm not meeting the requirements.
Thanks for any help people, really appreciate it
