No
How do I do that?
Do I have to reinstall the whole system to do that?

Yes I have Direct X 9 and everything checks out alright.
Another thing-
All the screensavers that came installed with XP work fine.
I don't think I need to reinstall Open GL.
I don't get it!

All your hardware settings are set to max acceleration? Maybe update the drivers for the graphics card or try a different driver. Try a lower screen resolution too. It shouldn't be a problem with your card because it's fairly new but some older ones have a problem with glide at high frequency/high resolution.

Ok
I rolled back the driver and it works now, but the frame rate is really slow and super choppy.
I think I got the newer driver from Windows Update.
After rolling back the driver I noticed that the "Display Properties" dialog box changed also, giving me 2 options for the vid card.
I'm lost here.
How should I try and adjust my settings to make the screensaver run smoothly and quick?
I'm using Electricalm2 to test it.I'm sure allot of you have seen this screensaver so-?

Oh yeah
I installed a second HDD that has a fat 32 file system.
My C: drive has an NTSF file system.
Could this be a problem?
EDIT
I just used a prog called "My Drivers" to check and see if there was any driver updates.
It turns out that there was a 4 in 1 dl from my motherboards website which I dl'ed and installed, but it didn't change a thing.

Update
I just installed Microsoft Plus for XP and all the graphics run smoothly.
Do any of you have the 3D screensavers that I refered to in my original post?

Never download drivers for non-Microsoft hardware from Windows Update...
