DirectDraw and Direct 3d Not available

Hi there, i'm new to the forum and hoping I can get some help with my problem. I just installed vista today, and i'm trying to get warcraft 3 running.
However, I believe i have some bigger problems that are preventing me from doing so. I have tried relentlessly to get my video card drivers up to date, which at this point, i'm thinking they are. But I can't think of any other reason as to why my Direct Draw and Direct3d claim to be "not available" when i look under the display tab of dxdiag.

Anyone know how I can get these (directdraw and direct3d) to become "enabled"

I've tried going to control panel - display - advanced - troubleshooting and turning up the hardware acceleration, but it was already at full.

I have no idea what i should do from here. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advanced.
