    I haven't used that OS, but are you able to go to Start -> Run, then type dxdiag and click OK? Should start the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

    You don't have a Display tab with the option to enable or disable Direct3D Acceleration? :-?

    not with this OS. but it's only been 6 months out of the box. I know that's old but still not many updates. I also still need ot update my Monitor drivers and vid card drivers.

    Huh. I didn't think it was a feature of the OS but of DirectX. Have you tried consulting Annoyances.org?

    This is one of the reasons I use system commander!

    I run dos/win98se/winnt/win2k and win xp just by choosing from start-up list from system commander.

    If a game don't work in one os then I'll use another one!

    I like how the topic of this post ruins the front page, that list under the "hot forum threads" bit.

    Wait! I don't understand what you're talking about. I have the same black triangles of death! Explain it simply so a dummy like me can understand. Please.

    I think that right there is your problem. Besides, if you're running something as new and shiny as Windows Server 2003, then you should know what you're doing, or try something else. No really, it's like the kid who installs Unix and tries to get things to work and wonders how.

    Well there's your first step.

    Step 2 is to go back to the box, dig around a bit and when you find a book in there, that's called the manual. What you do then is you READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.
