Ok, after installing the Wicked3D software every game that uses DirectDraw and/or Direct3D freeze after about 10-15 seconds of starting the game. I have all of the updated software and drivers for EVERYTHING and no difference. I even tried uninstalling the Metabyte (Wicked3D) software and no change. Even if I run a DirectDraw/3D game in Software mode it locks up. But then I disabled DirectDraw and Direct3D and all my games work fine now but are too slow and choppy to play due to not using my 3D card. Someone please help me to get DirectDraw and Direct3D support back and my games working again. Here's my computer info:

Computer Brand: Explorer Micro
Processor: Pentium III 600mHz
Operating System: Windows 98 (Second Edition)
Graphics Card: Stealth III S540 (S3 Savage 4)

Could be a DirectX problem now. Try re-installing DirectX? I know from DirectX newsgroups that DirectX8.1 is real buggy. Might have to un-install DirectX first. Also, check some DirectX newsgroups for help.
