toy story 2 pc game

[michelle thomas]

 cant run game. getting error message
"cannot enumerate  a suitable device"
what is wrong

[Raptor]

Have you selected an audio device from the configuration menu if present.

[michelle thomas]

There is no menu. it's a straight forward installation and i am running windows xp.

[michelle thomas]

Sorry, the error message also reads:

Soft Abort-c:\projects\toy2\direct6.cppLine103

[Raptor]

I am not quite sure what any of these errors mean, they may be very  game specific.

Have you tried patching the game?

Is this a legal version?

[michelle thomas]

I bought the game for my daughter from a shop. Thought i would try on here first before i consider taking it back. Thanks anyway. By the way, i have received lots of help from this forum and wanted to make a donation to the site. Is that possible?

I do not think you can, but you can always send the administrator your thanks.

Have you tried reinstalling the game first? Uninstall it first from the Software panel.

yes, i tried uninstalling and then installing again. same problem. could it possibly have something to do with direct x?

To give it the best chance of working you should have the latest directx (9.0C I think), and the latest video & sound drivers from their respective manufacturer's websites. (Not Microsoft)
Then select Start>Run & type dxdiag and make sure all is OK.

What version of Direct X do you have installed?

I assume you tried copying your error into Google and saw a the correction containing DirectX6, yes?

[shell26]

I have direct x version 8.

[shell26]

I saw a directx troubleshooter on the help files for the game and thought nothing of it until i saw the word "direct" in the error message so i put 2 and 2 together and probably came up with 124! lol.
I have just encountered another problem now aswell.
I tried to download the latest version of direct x and i have just found out that i am not running a genuine version of windows!  
AAARRRGGHH!

[Fed]

You will find directX on the net I think.
Get it from a reputable looking site.
