DirectDraw and Direct3D both not available?

[lilpoopypants]

The machine is a 82810E intel board using onboard 810E graphics. P3 660mhz and 320MB ram, Windows 2000 with DX9C.
I installed the latest onboard video drivers from intel and nothing changed. I uninstalled them an reinstalled, no change.

What I'm referring to is within dxdiag under display. I can only test directdraw but it errors out when it tries the fullscreen.

Heres the notes from dxdiag

DirectDraw test results: Failure at step 20 (Colorfill to back buffer): HRESULT = 0x887601c2 (error code)

Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer.

I have the bios to the latest version (2001) and have as much memory allocated to the onboard as possible.

Ideas/suggestions? I'm trying to get counterstrike to work on this old beast.

I've read the 810 is about equivalent to a TNT1, which should work in 640x480. I have no PCI cards available to use with it. Just an old ATI rage turbo pro AGP, which i have no agp slot for.
thinking about ordering a $60 geforce fx 5200 for it (its my machine at work)

you are better off with the Rage Pro

 

[lilpoopypants]

the board has no AGP slot tho

guess your screwed then lol

maybe add a PCI 9100 or something

i figured someone had this problem before.. cuz this thing is supposed to have some 3d capabilities but they apparantly are not being recognized or working.

might install XP to see if that makes any difference, if anyone has any suggestions shoot em over

i was actually leaning more towards the PCI 5200 or 5600 (ive found that as the cards get older, my NV ones are better supported driverwise.. only reason)

if your planning on buying a new vid card anyway, just go ahead, it'll definitly fix the problem

 

[Whatsisname]

if this thing is newer than 6 years old then somethings probably toast.

Ok, I'm opening myself up to some flaming here, but can anyone tell me what's the use of DX9 on an 810 chipset? I'm mean, what's the point? Shouldn't 8.1 be enough?

good point, that's partly why i suggested the vidcard upgrade

for me its not a matter of dx8 being enough, its why pay the same price and get less?

i dont care if it IS useless. might come in handy somehow down the road. at least its there.
i never accept arguements that somehow less is acceptable or better in tech debates. even if the added stuff is useless, if its the same price.. only a moron would get the dx8 part IMO.
when your talking PCI bus cards, even DX8 is prob overkill from that kind of perspective anyway.
DX7 class cards (GF4MX) are pretty much all anyone needs (or could use) if they are stuck on the PCI bus if you get down to the brass tacks..
but why not have DX9? Not going to slow ya down any.

for me its not about the dx9 support at all, its just the fact its Nvidia (or more specifically their industry leading drivers and exceptional legacy support that they've given me over the years). i just KNOW their stuff is the best, at least in my 16 years of computing they have consistently delivered exceptional product and support since their coming to power in the TNT era.. better than any other single company's products i've used.

anyway enough of my Nv rant.. thanks guys for getting me offtrack.

I have a bunch of old cards, a voodoo1 that my friend has had for 6 years.. a voodoo3 that i have been letting my aunt use for 3 years now, a GF2 my cousin has had for a year now...
so it looks like i could start getting some of my stuff back!

It's the 810 chipset, not the interface that's in question. There are a number of PCI-based video card that are DX9 ready.

lmao

mm onboard shared memory. I had the chipset once
