How to switch from Software rendering to direct3d
How can I get the startup menu when you first play Deus Ex up again so I can switch to D3D?

Go to settings, then display, then there is a button you can click that will allow you to change your rendering device, it is rather obviously named.

God, am I really that stupid? Thanks.
I swear, ask me for a concise history of Western Science, I'm your man. Ask me to to make a cup of tea, I'm dumbfounded.

No problem, I just assumed that you just never had to use it and when looking through the options you just thought "Button, button, button, resolution, etc..." and not "Button, button, button, reso... WAIT! There it is... *Click*", I understand, I often miss things as well.
And pouring a cup of tea is harder than it looks, you have to pour it just right or you will spill it and make a mess that you will have to clean up...

Re: How to switch from Software rendering to direct3d
I'm having a problem choosing Direct3D as my rendering device. In Deus Ex, I can choose Direct3D from the "certified, compatible" list, the game recognizes my video card (a 9600GT), and the it runs fine. For TNM the only option in the "certified, compatible" list is Software rendering. When I choose Direct3D from the "unsupported" list I only get a back screen; I would play the game with Software rendering but there are tons of bugs (most of the game's objects are intersecting and clipping through each other. For example, in the apartment at the beginning of the game, the furniture is all sunk into the floor, I could see the knife hidden underneath the pillows, etc.) Can anyone help me find out why I Direct3D works great with Deus Ex but not with this mod? Yes, I have tried reinstalling the mod.

Check you're using the same actual renderer in both: given that there are several D3D renderers for DX out there now.
Compare the settings near the top of deusex.ini and tnm.ini and see if they agree.
