DDraw error
« on: October 04, 2009, 10:58:42 AM »
I know that DDraw error is in most cases caused by Direct-X failure or missing drivers.

When I trying to play a game on my new laptop I get DDraw error, I know that there is nothing wrong whit my Direct-x so I guess it have to be a missing driver. But I thought I had installed all drivers so one must be missing or corrupted.

So my question is how can I see if a driver is missing or corrupted?

Click Start -->Run and type in devmgmt.msc and press enter. This will take you to Device Manager. Do you see any yellow question marks or exclamation points or red X's?

I have already been there but there is nothing yellow there,

btw the Os is XP 2000, I got Direct-X 9.0c. DDraw is working in dxdiag
