Hi, I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad with Vista Basic installed. Originally, everything, including the screen saver, worked fine. However, after I installed Vista Ultimate Upgrade the screen saver stopped working. When I click Personalise - Screen Saver Settings it says: "The screen saver can't run because it requires a newer video card or one thats compatible with Direct3D" If I click preview screen saver it is just a black screen with the above sentence on it. If I open one of the games, like Mahjong Tiles, the following warning appears: "The gane is running in software rendering mode. Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on" The game still runs, it is just slow. I have been in contact with Microsoft who have not been able to help. They have got me to create a new account, uninstall all nVidia applications, reinstall the drivers and nothing has worked. This is driving me insane! If anyone could suggest anything I would be very grateful! Thanks, Cat
