Suddenly my games (mostly from Big Fish Games) won't play. A few days ago I downloaded a game with trial period as I always do before buying. Played 4 levels and kept getting access violation codes. No problems whatsoever before. I went to another website and played the same game with no problems. Therefore, I contacted BFG and am still awaiting a response. However, I thought it was just THAT game but when I tried some other previously owned games from them, I started seeing the same message along with a crash. Today, I cannot play any games from any website, I get the following message now: "Could not initialize Direct 3D, please ensure hat DirectX and graphics drivers are installed."
I ran the dxdiag thing and it says no problems found.
