This problem first occured when I was playing fable. I was playing the game with no problems whatsoever on the PC in my sig for a few days until teh game crashed. When I tried to start it up again, it sayed something like "error intializing direct draw, run dxdiag to make sure hardware acceleration is enabled" then later I got rise of legends. again I was playing perfectly for a few days until today it crashed and when I started it up it said "Graphics services failed to initialize. Please make sure that your video card and drivers are correctly installed, and are compatible with Rise of Legends." I checked dxdiag and the direct draw test didn't come up with any problems, Ive never had this error with any other games, and when I checked microsofts website, the only solution it gave was to run the game in a window. what is the problem and how do I fix it?
