Big problems with this install

After instaling the new Omega driver I lost D3D acceleration and the ability to enable it. Reinstalling DirectX, changing the driver, installing a different driver did not fix it. I have not been able to recover it so far...I may have to do a clean install. :-(

RRRRRRRRRR

This is annoying, I had to reinstall the system to a new directory, nothing else would work. Something got seriously corrupted.
