Anybody know why AGP Texture Acceleration (DirectX) is not available in Windows 2000?

Is there anyway to enable it?

This option was available before I upgraded my OS from Win ME to Win 2K.

The MB and video are capable. ----------------------------------------

It is doesn't matter what appertune size is set in BIOS. Just sometimes Windows do not have 100% driver support for your motherboard.

The best way to enable AGP Texture Acceleration is to download latest matherboard (Miniport 4in1, and etc.) driver and install it whenever you want, before or after the installation of drivers for your Graphics Card.

Updating BIOS for Motherboard is also do not plays very important role in this issue.

Configuration:

CPU: AMD Athlon XP
Motherboard: A7V8X-X
Vcard: GeForce 4 Ti 4200
OS: Windows XP with SP1

 
Okay some reason in DXDIAG my Texture accelertion is grayed out.. And my system is

OS: Windows XP
Video Card: Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb AGP
MOBO: Gigabyte K7 Triton GA-7VAXP
Ram: 1280 2700 DDR
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2700+

Can Someone plz tell me why my AGP Texture Acceleration is grayed Out....
 
Hi,
It all started when i was trying to install Max Payne 2 and at the end of the installation i got the error that i need to enable the AGP .... I've really been dying to solve this one problem for the LONGEST time. I've tried almost everything and nothing works. The AGP texture acceleration is still greyed out! In my bios AGP is set to 128mb. I tried lowering it but that didnt help either.
Here are my Spex:

AMD athalon XP 2800+
A7N8X-X Mother Board (Asus)
XP with Service Pack 1
Ati Radeon 9600 Pro

PLEASE SOME ONE HELP!

The same old problem, folks, AGP disabled. What I've done, tho, is downloaded the latestest drivers for my chipset Ali M1647 AliMAGIK 1 (why two sets of figuers?). My question: can I just install them, or is there a pre-condition prior to linstallation?
