Dell monitor not direct3D compatible after upgrade from Vista

The model of the monitor is SE198WFPv. The computer is Dell inspiron
531S with AMD Sempron Processor LE-1250 2.20GHz 32bit operating
system.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, I get the error message
that the video card needs to be direct3D compatible. This therefore
does not allow me to use screen savers involving motion. The video
card and monitor had no trouble displaying direct3D objects in Vista.

Is the computer, video card, and monitor just not compatible with
Windows 7, even though it worked great on Vista? Do I really need a
new video card?

I've been search google for the answer for the last 2 days and haven't
quite found the answer yet.
