Vista Games on WindowsXP.......NOT

skippee · 6th January 2007, 23:21

I'm trying to play Windows Vista games on my machine that has WindowsXP but I keep getting a critical error message that says "Unable to find a DirectX 3D Device to render to". I did some research which brought me to upgrade my DirectX and my monitors drivers. Nothing is helping. Is it not possible to play these games on XP?

DXdiag gives me a message that says this: Hardware accelerated Direct3D 9+ is not available because the display driver does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the hardware manufacturer. Could this be the problem?
