I ran the Direct X 9.0b diagnostic to test my Voodoo 2 card and ti came up
with these errors under the Direct 3D test:
Hardware accelerated Direct3D 9+ is not available because the display driver
does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the
hardware manufacturer.
Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 46 (GetDC): HRESULT = 0x88760249
(Can't create DC)
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT =
0x8876086a (3D not available)
Direct3D 9 test results: Display driver does not support API (DDI version
too low)
Anybody have any idea how to rectify these problems? (I got windows 98 SE)

Why did you install Direct X 9 in the first place? Only a few new cards
support DirectX9 features, a Voodoo (Especially a V2) card will definitely
not. If you can still play games with DX9 then stick with it and ignore the
diagnostic results as there is no way around them unless you have alot of
money to buy a new card like a Radeon. If you are having problems with your
card then you will probably have to reformat your hard drive as I believe
DX9 like many other versions of DX are not removable and then install a
different version like DX6. I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear
but that is the answer.
