I am having Problems with my video card in my system. It had previously worked for my games but it now gives distorted images when I tested the direct3D using DXDiag.exe. Whenever I start my game (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic), The beginning part runs correctly (ie, the opening videos) but the menu is no longer shown. All I see is the cursor surrounded by a black screen. When I tried another game (Pirates of the Carribean), the opening was distored by large Red triangles and the menu was distored with green and red vertical lines of boxes (similar to the dos rectangles).
This is surprising because the card preforms quite well when running video files suchas XVID, Mpeg or Avi, as well as DVD playback.
I would appreciate any help.
