3d acceleration won't enable

[psychedup]

Hi there,

I hope this question hasn't been answered already, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I've been using SageTV for a few months now with no problems... last night I was trying to free up some disk space on my C: drive, deleted one thing too many, and windows started acting up, so I formatted and reinstalled everything.

When I reinstalled SageTV I was amazed to find it detected my ATI TV Wonder VE card, which it had never done before. But now the GUI is a little slower than it was before, and I noticed the transparent menus went away. I went into Detailed Setup under Advanced and noticed that 3d Acceleration was disabled. The trouble is, I can't get it to change to Enabled. If I click on it, it changes to Enabled for a second and then changes back.

I'm currently running a P-III 866 MHz, 448 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9200 video, Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-150, ATI TV Wonder VE, Sound blaster Live, Windows XP SP 2. I tried updating the radeon driver to version 6.14.10.6517 but that didn't seem to help any.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It just seems so strange that it worked before I reinstalled everything and now it's gone.

Only thing I can think of is ...what codec are you using ? is it the same one ? you have the tweak applied if you are using the intervideo driver ?

also run dxdiag and make sure theres nothing wrong with your directx setup.

Make sure you don't have any of the 350 stuff enabled in the detailed setup of Sage.

Make sure you have DX9c (which you should with SP2).
