I have Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Edition installed.
I have nVidia Geforce FX5200 based AGP card.
I have installed the latest version of DirectX 9.0c (October 2006) & nVidia drivers.
The problem is, there is no Direct3D Acceleration & AGP Texture Acceleration on my system.
I have checked everything but I don't know what's the problem.
I never had any problem on Windows XP/98SE/XP 64-bit.
Kindly help.

Im sure it would solve your problem!

The problem was in DxDiag.
DirectDraw Acceleration tab was diabled & I hadn't noticed it then.
But now I have & have enabled it thereby also enabling Direct3D Acceleration & AGP Texture Acceleration.
Thanks for helping me.
