I've built a brand new machine for the sole purpose of playing Halo.

ASUS P5GD1-VM Intel 915G Motherboard
ASUS EAX800XT PCI-Express Graphics Card $650
Intel P4 3.0GHz LGA775 Processor
1GB RAM
200GB SATA Hard drive
Windows XP w/ SP2 and all latest updates
Latest ASUS tailored ATI Drivers

I followed all the instructions for patching X800 Chip graphics cards and non of the suggested fixxes work.

The specific error is....

A problem has occurred initializing Direct3D. Hardware accelleration maybe disabled, please run DXDIAG

Machine info 3000MHz, 1024MB, 256 ATI Unknown (0x5d57)

I can choose click here for more info which tells me how to ensure I have Direct X loaded and hardware accelleration turned on and Direct3D enabled.

All of that applies.

I have DirectX version 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) and I've reinstalled it.

I have the latest driver.

Can someone please help me?

Arg, I'm not saying it again!!!

Check the Other Forum Threads for people with the Same Problem, Before making a new thread about the Same Thing.

It's drivers btw, installed in the wrong order. This must be the... 9th time? I think so anyway.
