Generally when you get the no 3D detected it is because you've picked the wrong driver from within the game or program. Some older games were produced when the only 3D was an add on card such as a VooDoo1 or 2 or a Matrox D3D or whatever it was.

Have you upgraded your card's drivers?

Hmm....a card definitly can't lose it's 3D function...that would defeat the purpose of the card. What games, specifically?

Was this after a reinstall of windows? I posted a similar question
where the pc is fine until it needs to run 3d...Trying to rule out a direct x issue or did something get hit when changing the powersupply
to a new one...If I get any info on my thread that may be helpful to you I'll let you know...
