    I reinstalled my computers operatingsystem, and after I did that, I wanted to play a game, But all that met me was the critical error saying;
    "Please enable Direct3D acceleration. You can do this by starting dxdiag and enabling Direct3D Acceleration in the Display1/2 tab after installing DirectX 8.1b (or later) and the latest drivers for your graphics card."

    So I went to Dell.com, and installed the drivers available there, as this didn't worked, I went ahead and found a driver for my monitor (1905FP). In the ReadMe, I was instructed to go to start -> Control Panel -> Display -> Settings tab -> Advanced -> Monitor Tab -> Properties. And here's where the trouble is. Appearantly, My computer doesn't want me to click "properties" Why is this? I have to go in there to update or install my monitor driver, don't I?

    Excuse my English, Sincere thanks, Gurauto-Kun.
