Hello all, first time posting here. I have a question about my graphics card. Recently I replaced the hard drive and ever since then I have not been able to play any games that require 3d acceleration. In the device manager under the properties of the card it gives me the error code 10 and says the device cannot start. I have installed the latest drivers and am using directx 9.0b. The card itself is a BFG FX5200. I am using XP Home. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I did fix it once for a while with a rollback to a previous system restore point, but somehow it managed to "break" itself again.

Thanks, Daniel.

Uninstall the drivers using DriverCleaner (http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/) (from DriverHeaven). Then reboot and reinstall them.

(make sure you follow the instructions in the DriverCleaner readme file)

After installing the drivers,reinstall DirectX.
