I had a look using the above code. And the direct draw stuff worked ok. It appears there is no 3d driver, which is odd, because ( like I said ) Blender and 3d Studio work fine.
What I got after an upgrade at Maplins is this.
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)

DxDiag Notes

DirectX Files Tab: No problems found.
Display Tab 1: The system is using the generic video driver. Please install video driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer.
Sound Tab 1: No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.
Music Tab: No problems found.
Input Tab: No problems found.
Network Tab: No problems found.
...............................................................................................
There was more but I thought that was enough, I will have to take it back and have them install the drivers as I cannot find the manufacturers names or enough info to re-install the drives.
So, will try to find a way to do this. My Blitz3D does work fine on my other Vista desktoip backup, although it is s..l..o..w.
Thanks for the help
