try running dxdiag and look for anything weird (any strange error messages etc). it might be an os issue, but it might be a hardware issue, or something else..

yes i found a problem: DirectX Files Tab: No problems found.
Display Tab 1: The file s3_8.drv is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft&#39;s Windows Hardware Quality Labs. You may be able to get a signed driver from the manufacturer of the hardware device.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
Sound Tab 1: DirectSound test results: All tests were successful.
Music Tab: DirectMusic test results: All tests were successful.
Input Tab: No problems found.
Network Tab: The registry information for the DirectPlay application &#39;Risk&#39; is missing or damaged. You should reinstall that application.
DirectPlay test results: All tests were successful

Well, sounds to me like your video card driver is either broken or doesn&#39;t actually support 3D, or your video card just doesn&#39;t support 3D.

Either way, try getting new drivers for your card. If that doesn&#39;t work, try a reinstall of DirectX.
