Help Please

so i just got my hard drive reformatted
and when i got it back the jerk didnt put the video card drivers back on
ATI Radeon 9600 256
i went to the ATI page to get the drivers and installed them
downloaded Directx and installed it
downloaded GW
and it keeps saying i dont have direct x or a updated video card

now im not the best person with computers, but im pretty sure if i get both things i need to run a game, it should run

it is also doing it with tf2 so its not just a GW problem

if i could get any help that would be amazing

thanks

You installed the ATI drivers before DirectX? I don't know what version of Windows you're running, but if it didn't come with a new enough version of DirectX the ATI driver may have failed to install properly.

Try installing the ATI drivers again now that you do have DirectX installed.
