On my GeForce 2 MX 200, the DirectX 8.1 installation went successful. ... But here are the very bad news and a major issue: I ran the DirectX diagnostics utility, DxDiag and everything went all well until I tested the Direct3D DirectX 8 interface testing (Direct3D DirectX 7 interface testing is OK), It failed with the message in the status: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps)... and I can't test the Direct3D using the DirectX 8 interface!! What is the cause and can this be resolved, or will I have to get a least a GeForce 2 Ti?? This happened when using the 21.83 Detonators. --Randy J.
