I installed the ATI control panel and newest drivers for my ATI
Radeon 9800 pro/256 meg card and in the dxdiag program the AGP Texture
Acceleration and Direct 3D Acceleration are greyed out, not available.

The card is fine as I have used it with 98se, XP, and now with Winows
Server 2003. What do I need to do to enable these features? Thank you.
 
what is this lately running games on server OS's weird......what version of DX?
I'd reinstall it.

Well, I used to have a Radeon 8500 and I had that problem if I didn't
have my AGP aperature in the bios set to 64mb. But I have an 9800pro
now and don't have that problem anymore. I suggest you try what fixed
it for me on the 8500 though.

I had this problem but cannot remember what I did to cure it. The solution
would have been in this group - are the posts archived somewhere? I can
only see back as far as August. Cheers, Shawk.
