Reply With QuoteGet rid of the webcam. There appears to be a short in it. That may have caused other things to go haywire.
recently my pc went beserk, i opened netmeeting once and hit the play button and my computer restarted, my guess is the webcam restarted it, there are times where if i touch my webcam the whole pc just reboots for no reason, it pisses me off anyway, when my pc restarted my icons looked like shit, and when i open flightsim it says
"fs2004 your computer cannot currently use 3-d hardware acceleration as it has less than the required amount of video memory"
i already tried the new ati driver but no go and messed with the settings too. im usin win2k sp4 and i have a 128mb radeon 9800. anyone have this problem before?

ya i did that, and reinstalled my video driver, still no go
is this windows only? does linux run okay if you are dual booting?
plus try reinstalling directX
It sounds like you cooked the card.
i sure as fuck hope i didnt cook my radeon 9800, that fucker cost me $400. anyway i ran dxdiag and it told me netmeeting is still running and 3d acceleration may not work (ha! might have found the culprit) so i open the processes list and i dont see conf.exe. how do i kill this beast off?
edit: i opened netmeeting and closed it, and restarted dxdiag and all my tests were successful, hm ill try reinstall.
w00t, it works after reinstalling directx, nice call i applaud you
glad to hear it wasnt that bad.
