DirectX problem

[Rich43]

Im having some strange problem with my DirectX.

Im on Windows XP Media Center Edition with a 2Ghz 32bit AMD cpu.

Everything seems to say DirectDraw is disabled or not available... and the DirectDraw test in DxDiag seems to be fine.

I get this error when running Nero showtime:

Screenshot of Dxdiag:

Also recently Medal of honor Allied Assult (old game I know) seems to be going a bit jerky latly but half life 2 seems ok.. maybe that has something to do with this?

Should I use the media center editon drivers? I use my media center for gaming!

I think i installed 6-9_ccc_en_35774.exe without uninstalling recently (I thought it did it for me) but I saw the ATI sticky in this thread and il follow that
