I recently downloaded RCT3 Platinum onto my computer that runs on windows xp........When I tried to run RCT3 an error popped up saying that Direct X 9 could not be found. I thought that was weird because usually it is downloaded along with the game, but anyway i downloaded DirectX 9.0c from microsoft.com, and still the same error keeps showing up....any ideas?

To see what videocard you have go to Start > Run and type "dxdiag" ( without quotes ) and click on the "Display" tab. Under the "name" it should say what it is.
I suspect that you won't be able to with your current system hardware. However, since I don't know what it is, it can't hurt to try.
It depends on the PC you have. If you have onboard graphics and a PC made by a major manufacturer, such as Dell, HP, Gateway, etc., you go to their website and find the appropriate graphics driver. If it is a custom built PC, you would go to the motherboard manufacturer's website for the driver. If you have a separate graphics card, you can go to the graphics card manufacturer's website for the driver or directly to Nvidia or ATI.

Direct X can not be found
My lovely wife & kids fried my hard drive, too many hard shutdowns, not leaving the door open on the PC desk so the tower just baked....
Anyway after reinstalling RCT3, I get this same message, that direct x can not be found, even though i know it is installed....i saw some dialogue from another user who also had a Dell that they just needed to download an updated video driver from Dell - does anyone know which one / a specific link to use? Hopefully this will solve my issue, please let me know, thanks.
