ATi does not even know wtf is wrong with my damned PC. It wont play any games that run in direct 3d, including halo. This is the error message i get when trying to run halo:

Halo: Fatal Error

There was a problem intializing Direct3D, hardware acceleration may be disabled. Please run DXDIAG.

I ran dxdiag, and it says in the notes box under the display tab, that my DRIVERS DON'T SUPPORT DIRECT 3D 9+ RENDERING. I have the catlyst 6.5 installed (I have a Radeon 9200 128 MB btw) and i don't see how they can't support D3d 9.

Im stumped!

Are you sure you have Direct X installed. Either A.) Reinstall Halo, or B.) under my computer right click the Halo CD and click install direct x 9.0

The drivers *could* have over writed the direct X.
