    Motherboard Name Intel Pendleton D845PT

    I am not very computer savy but I have tried all I know how to fix this

    What games did you get? Some of the newer games, require a more powerful video card.

    Like, NWN2 requires 9500 or better to play.

    If you click START, then RUN, then type in:
    dxdiag (press enter).
    Then the display tab, is everything enabled?

    Directdraw Acceleration - not available

    Direct 3D Acceleration - not available

    I'd uninstall all the drivers that came with the computer, before your upgrade, including the ATI drivers.

    Then, I'd install, the latest "and greatest" drivers from ATI. Not from the CD that came with the card.

    What version of directX do you have?

    Could try uninstalling then reinstalling the most current version.

    Did you uninstall all the drivers from the old video card?

    Also, DirectX 9c is the latest.

    When ye are video dxdiag, there should be buttons to enable, the disabled items.
