I just installed, I had two red "Failed" test warnings during installation, one was CPU and the other DirectX. When starting Hardware Accelerated I get this warning:
8GB Ram, hd 5970 gfx, Phenom 2 1090T, Win 7 Pro 64 Bit.======================
This device supports D3D hardware acceleration.

I was running MM7 before with some Mod/Patch that patched some things but also altered the game a little by eg. adding stronger Items. Now I want to play it vanilla again.
Software mode runs but the picture is constantly flickering, it is almost unplayable.
Thanks.
