Hate squad shooters? :P

I liked Ghost Recon 2, and I kinda liked the GRAW 2 Demo. (The CrossCom is AWESOME.)

GRAW2 was great fun, I've never liked squad shooters but - amusingly - you can play with one without using your squad much at all.

DirectX is freaking software.

Actually its both...DirectX is a layer of software that sits between Windows and the hardware.  Its meant to make configuration easy for the end user.  Nobody has to go in and configure IRQ ports for their sound card anymore for instance and thats part of what DirectX does.  In order for this to work properly, you need hardware that will talk with DirectX in the first place.

Woutersmits...again....if you're unwilling to provide any details...nobody can possibly help you out.

Well considering the error report says it's a Direct3D problem, I'd say you might want to run the Direct3D tests from Start->Run->dxdiag.

Then you might want to re-install video card drivers (latest version).

Then you might want to install latest version of DirectX 9.0c as well.

...yes, there are many versions of DirectX 9.0c, latest one is from August 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CB7397F3-0949-487B-9247-8FEE451BF952&displaylang=en), the previous was from April 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CB7397F3-0949-487B-9247-8FEE451BF952&displaylang=en), and there are others as well... and they are all 9.0c. Go figure Microsoft's version numbering system, it's incomprehensible but just go along with it. These two, for example, have a substantial installer size difference (April2007=48.9MB, June2007=58.8MB) so I dunno what differences there are. Might be some Vista specific bugfixes and stuff, but who the hell knows aside from Microsoft, and I doubt you could get a straight answer for differences by calling their helpdesk.


And, as was already said, providing information like system specs, operating system and driver versions tends to help troubleshooting substantially... :nervous:
