Directdraw

Grr!

Every time I install a new graphics card driver, DirectDraw gets disabled.  How do you enable DirectDraw?

Head well and truly done-in!  :disappointed:

Thanks.  I tried that though and the option was greyed out.  Had to revert to older drivers.  I take it the 9800 Pro isnt supported anymore with modern drivers? :)

9800 is supported by all ATI drivers to date, is your Direct X up to date???
 if it is the problem could be with your Windows install  :(
