Umm yeah thats kinda the problem. I can't play anything newer than about 3 years old including dom 2. To check it out I did a dxdiag and on testing dx8 for direct 3d it does the exact same thing as when I try to play a newer game. Thats what made me first try "repairing" directx and then when that diddn't work reinstalling drivers for my card. So I actually haven't changed anything that i've been using for the Last 5 months or so.
