Did you run all the tests in DXDIAG?

What games are you trying to play and exactly what OS are you running.
Under XP you may need to run older games in compatibility mode.

im tryin to play Halo and it brings up that message. I've
played it on this computer before and it worked fine. I
tried dowloading directx 9 to see if it would allow it to
work but it didnt, so i dont know what to do now.

Sir,
go to -->" Display Properties"--> Settings--> advanced--> Trouble shoot -->
slide "Hardware acceleration" to FULL--> enable "write combining" --> apply,
OK

now install Direct X Again, this will fix your problem, also try in start
menu --> run command --> "dxdiag.exe" and perform direct x test for agp
acceleration and direct draw.
