Greetings
I have a laptop bought with Windows Vista but since it was so slow i decided to format it and install Windows XP SP3. Everything went ok with all the other drivers such as audio, but when i try to play a game it says:
"Could not create Graphics Device. Direct X is unavailable. [1002]"
So i thought i should check the devices in Device Manager where i saw Video (VGA Compatible) in a yellow question mark.
