That may pertain to him. I dunno.

 

Go to start>>run and type in Diag

Click the 'Display' tab

Test DirectDraw

Test Direct3d

and post the results.

 

i dont use a laptop so i dont think that is the problem and ill try the dxdiag now.


EDIT:

And, once again i ahve updated my drives and gotten direct x 9.0.

 

Have you read everything from http://www.blizzard.com/support/wow/?id=aww0830p ?

 

Yes, i have read everything and my chip is under the Supported coloum so i should be able to play.

 

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

You need better or new or final drivers. What video card do you have?

 

Radeon 9700 he has.

 

yes, master yoda.

and it is under the supported coloumn for WoW supporetd vid cards.

 

Try reinstalling wow if it was never working in the first place.
