First, I apologize if this is the wrong area to be posting this, but I checked some other posts first, and this seemed the best place to start.
On with the problem. I have DirectX installed on my PC, running Windows XP Home. According to my computer, it is version 9.0, and according to Microsoft, I should be allowed to run games that require all previous versions as well. This is not the case.
This morning I installed a new game. It requires version 8.0. And it reminds me of this fact every time I try to start the game with an error message.
I know I have DirectX v9.0. I even downloaded some newer updates (straight from Microsoft) in the hopes that it would let me play my game. Obviously, it didn't work.
There are other games on my computer that have similar requirements and they work just fine. Can anyone help me find/fix this problem?
Thank you
