enable direct3d acceleration

Hi everybody.

I recently discovered that my direct3D acceleration is listed as "not
available" when I look at it in dxdiag. This has caused me not to be
able to play many games which require it. I believe I caused this
myself, while trying to get an old game called Worms:Armageddon to work
on my laptop. I am not sure what I did in order to disable it, but it
may have involved a 3rd party program. I have since deleted this
program, as I deleted everything in the folder of the game in an attempt
to fix this problem (to no avail). Does anybody have any advice on how
to get it to work again? I have tried reinstalling drivers, but
reinstalling directx seems more difficult on vista.

System Spec.s:

Gateway model E-475M
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2300
DirectX 10
Vista business x32

Thanks for any help

Maybe this Microsoft post will help you guys out: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/191660

I think personally that if your card isn't picking up the proper acceleration for DirectX features, then you either:

A) need to update DirectX(/and/or/) video card drivers or

B) Your graphics card is very limited and you need a better card that better supports DirectX10 for Windows Vista.

Either the case, the site link at the top couldn't hurt. Best of luck! Cheers!
