My nephew was playing his game fine just a few days ago, then the next time he went to restart WoW, he gets the error message 'World of Warcraft was unable to start 3d acceleration. Please make sure DirectX 9.0c is installed and all video drivers are up-to-date.'


I'm having similar problems ever since I installed new ATI graphics
card along with new drivers. Sometimes after exiting WoW (or switching
to desktop) it looks like 3D resources are not correctly freed and
I can't use any 3D or overlay using application.

What usually helps is switching color depth to 16bit and back to 32bit.
