I have a 770X and in windows 98, directx reported that direct3d worked, and i could play games using hardware acceleration, now i installed xp and i no longer have hardware video acceleration. i am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and or know how to remedy it, i have tried many drivers, most of which don't work because finding drivers for xp is not an easy task. any help is appreciated. thanks

What video driver is XP loading for the trident graphics chip?

It loads a driver for the 9397DVD, it runs everything right except direct3d and now i am thinking that it just plain will not work with directx 8.1 which is standard in the xp distro. so i think im out of luck unless anyone knows any different.

when it runs found new hardware it sees it as the 9397DVD
