Computer game query - help appreciated

Broken Sword - The Angel Of Death.</p>

Anybody know what Direct X is. PC has it on and is updated, but game won't start, instead it gives the message &quot;there was an error starting Direct X&quot;</p>

Uninstalled and reinstalled several times.</p>

Anybody know what to do next?</p>

 

Graphics card drivers maybe?

If it's the correct version of Direct X usually problems like that are due to outdated drivers - try updating the ones for your video-card...

 

Direct X

Have you got the latest version of Direct X? If so try drivers for video/sound

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

It's basically software that allows games writers to write to link to direct X on your machine, whilst direct X then links to things such as video drivers, sound cards etc....it means that the game does not have to be coded to recognise every possible combination of hardware/software that people might have....it's an interface

 

Direct X is a program that maximises the graphics.
Have u gone on microsoft's website to get the latest version, I think it version 9.c or something now mate

 

Thanks for the help you guys

Will try the download and see how we do.</p>
