# Check Direct3D

To verify that Direct3D is enabled, you must first run DXDIAG.EXE. To do this:

###### 1. Left click on the START button and choose RUN

###### 2. In the Dialog box that appears type the word DXDIAG

###### 3. Click on the tab labeled ‘Display’ and make sure the word Enabled appears to the right of Direct3D Acceleration.

WARNING: If Direct3D Acceleration is not enabled and a button is not available to enable it, your game will not be able to run reliably. Contact either your computer or video card manufacturer for assistance.
