Well I just bought a 3D Prophet (Radeon 8500 128mm) and installed it on Xp Pro and everything was working well for about a day or so.
Now all of a sudden the screen savers that came with it refuse to work. Also if I leave my mouse undisturbed on the desk top for awhile, it starts clicking. Click....Click....Click!!

What would CAUSE this??

Thanks in advance!!

Well I figured it up.

Direct X 8.1 got messed up some how.

I installed the screen savers in 98SE and the same thing happend. I reinstalled DirectX 8.1 and now they work!

So that means my Direct X 8.1 is messed up in XP Pro, does anyone know how I can get the install for it for XP Pro?

They aren't listed on their site, since XP COMES with 8.1. Will I have to do a repair install or XP or do you think I can use the 8.1 for 2000??
