Hi all I have a problem with Oblivion - it would run even tho my rig is well capable.. it keeps stalling on single frames. I updated everytinhg - drivers, patches etc but to no avail then discovered a fault with call of duty 2 which reported this error Direct3DDevice9 Present failed Driver internal error What on earth does that mean? Has my Direct X broken? If so how do I uninstall it? Or is it my card? It's only 2 months old X1800XT... Any help would be great Thanks Jelboy

Thx guys I have done all the things you mention but have not been able to uninstall dx to reinstall it!? Any ideas? Also these games were fine and have seemed to detiorate over the last month. Another interesting factor - I have an old slow small hdd with Oblivion on it and this runs ok - no probs and has latest drivers - any ideas... It appears to me the directx has become corrupt somehow but I have updated it and it reports no probs Please help me!!!!!!
