Directx version: Directx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
80gig hardrive (Ultra ATA)
display adapter:" Intel 82815 Graphics controller" then switched to "3dfx voodoo3" card to see if made a difference? (It didn't)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the dilemma?
When I first installed the game and tryed to open it...when I clicked on play I received a Directx Error Saying:
"Could not start Graphics engine.
Make sure you have directx9.0 installed, and Direct3D is Enabled"
Ok.. so I went and made sure I had the Directx installed by going to microsoft and getting it!! then made sure 3D was enabled and ran the test in the Directx diagnostics under tools in system information... all test went ok!
Then I went to driveragent.com and did a driver scan and have updated all drivers. So I thought maybe it was the display adapter that was bad so I put another one in to see if that was the problem... still the same error.. Oh and after doing all this stuff I have rebooted my computer after every update and change outs! I even uninstalled the game and re-installed it... To no avail!!
So thinking it might be the game itself I downloaded it to another comp and it plays fine.. and took the one I knew was good and installed on here...with the same error everytime!!! I am out of ideas of what to try to get it to work on here...so hopefully you guy's/girls can give me an idea on how to eleminate the error and make it work!!
Thanks for your input and help in advance, and hope I have givin you enough info!
