directx8 problems

[spidey0102]

Hi there! This may just sound kinda lame, but i have a problem with directx/OpenGl and i dont have a clue on what to do. Newer games like NOLF2 refuse to run, for they say no video card detected or problems with directx. I ran dxdiag and although it said that i have directx8.1 installed, i only got to the dx7 hardware direct3d test. I even reinstalled directx8.1, later uninstalled the video card drivers, re-installed them, but the games(and 3dmark2001) still come up with the same message. Older games like quake2 or half-life run anyway.
If anyone knows what to do, please post an answer.
Thx.:frown2:

make sure to install the detonator drivers for your graphic card.

www.nvidia.com

maybe that will help.
