I downloaded the drivers from the provided link and tried them, no change to original problem. I then went into the BIOS and changed my AGP speed from auto to 8x and changed the apperature size from 128Mb to 256Mb. Went to XFX site and downloaded & installed their beta drivers. All went well, DirectX finally went through a complete installation, BUT, every time I run dxdiag I come up with a ksproxy.ax error. I can "End Task" on dxdiag close the error window and continue to run with no ill effects but It's apparently still not installed properly. The main thing I notice is when I'm browsing the web, shockwave and flash files make the screen flicker (Bad) and the resolution on shockwave games is VERY blocky (seems like pixel size is too large). Other than that everything else on the PC appears normally.
