Been busy, hence the lack of a reply. Thanks for the suggestion Nikel, I'll certainly try the S2003 drivers! No drivers S2008 in Windows Update as of yet and I'm not holding my breath while waiting for them either....

Uh...audio? How do you figure that's the problem? In any case, I've neither updated or reinstalled those drivers, since as far as I'm aware they work just fine.

Pocus: will do, cheers.

What a bummer.... :( Actually I've been on nights ever since I bought it and have only had a look at things in short fits and spurts, so I'll give it the weekend at least when I can put in a more concentrated effort. If neither google nor my brain comes up with a workable solution, I'll take you up ...

I cleverly deduced this after finding that DxDiag has no option to check for such support at all under S2008. :-) No "Test Direct3D" option, no green cube any longer. I've downloaded the latest DirectX redistributabl...

The file is indeed there and I've also already tried the other prospective solution without any change to my sad predicament. Does this mean I'm well and truly stuck, or is there still hope of a cure? "By the way, very nice PC" Thanks; I must confess I'm quite happy with it. ;-) I ought to be, consi...

Will do, no problem - and thanks for the swift reply! Sometime later though, as I'm on my way to bed after a night shift. :cuit: (not sure what that smiley means, but I couldn't find one that says "I'm really, really tired"...)
