WindowsXP and DirectX revisited
Posted: 17 Jul 2002, 10:32
Hello Everyone! This is my first official post on this forum, but I´m sure many of you will recognise my problem from the Planet Mars forum (Cameron - please forgive me for name dropping <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif"> ) Anyway here goes...
<BR>
<BR>I have a WinXP Pro PC, with a Riva TNT2 M64 Graphics Card. When I first upgraded to XP from ME it automatically installed Direct 8.1 This version of DirectX is required for games such as: Max Payne, THPS3, Blood Omen II etc. As well as the PLUS! for XP screensavers. At first everything went fine and I could play Max Payne and observe the screensavers in glorious 3D. Then oneday they just stopped working! Max Payne gave me an error message that my graphics card was not DX 8.1 compatible and the screensavers did the same. Now I can´t run any 8.1 based games/apps I need help. I´ve reinstalled and uninstalled the drivers, but at present there are´nt any DirectX uninstallers for XP (or are they?)
<BR>
<BR>Please help! I really wanna play the THPS3 demo on this months Coverdisc!
