Hey guys,
I recently downloaded XFire, and then I wanted to play some Halo PC. I clicked on my Halo shortcut, and it said something like, "Direct3D can not be initialized. Hardware acceleration might be disabled." It also said to check the DirectX Testing thingy (I forgot the name, sorry). I tested everything, and everything worked in the tester thingy. I tried to run Halo again. Same error. Before I had installed XFire, everything worked. Then I turned of XFire, and tried again. Same result.
Then, I rebooted my computer, without turning XFire on. Halo worked. Then I turned XFire on again, and the same error popped up.
Does anyone know of a fix for this? I would like to use XFire while playing but it doesn't work.

Thanks,

But you wasn't suppose to use XFire when playing.

Post images of your DirectX Diagnostics. Search for "dxdiag" (no quotes).

Well, in DXDIAG (thanks for telling me the name, as I forgot it), everything was enabled for me on the Direct3D page. I passed all the tests fine. But XFire does something. I'll post some images later.
