The following is a copy/paste from: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~q3app/board/messages/70.shtml (this helped me to get rid of the 16color icons ) 4. Why is my Direct3D and/or AGP disabled in Windows2000? (top) - This will occur if you have Netmeeting 3.01 running. Since NetMeeting 3.01 is built in to Windows 2000, it cannot be removed. The DESKTOP SHARING element of NetMeeting DISABLES DIRECT3D and in most cases, also disables AGP automatically. To reenable Direct3D and/or AGP, do the following: - enable desktop sharing by using the desktop sharing wizard. - right-click on the Desktop sharing icon (NOT the Netmeeting icon) in the taskbar and choose "Exit". - go back into the desktop sharing configuration and disable Desktop Sharing. - reboot. Direct3D and/or AGP should be restored. If your desktop icons are now in 16 color, go into display properties, click on the Effects tab, disable "display icons in all possible colors", click Apply, enable "display icons in all possible colors", click "Apply" again and your colors should be restored - do as it says, the OpenGL & yaddayadda is irrelevant. but the stuff about Netmeeting&stuff actually works. ------------- Malice
