MISSING 3-D Device

Hello, I seem to have a problem with my 3-D device on certain screensavers, (IE: Windows XP 3D) when i click on the screensaver, it comes back with a error. CANNOT FIND ANY COMPATIBLE 3D DEVICE...I have Windows XP Home with SP2, and NIVIDA DRIVERS installed, it was working, at one time, until i ran spyware, and somehow it got deleted !!!!But my 3D pipes work, And other 3D screensavers work, Just windows XP 3D screensaver And some of my Desk top themes screensavers don't work as well..
If anyone has an answer, Please E-Mail me!!!
Thanks and hope to hear from someone soon.

The most obvious things this could be are either your video card drivers and/or DirectX.

Download and install the latest nVidia drivers.

Also, what version of DirectX are you using?

Go to Start, Run and type in dxdiag and then O.K.

That will tell you the version number. The latest one is 9.0c.

Go through each tab and make sure there are no errors.
