Hi -

What operating system are you using?
Might try re-installing the game after you installed dx9(skip any dx install during that process).
Any patches available for the game that you might have missed?

xp pro. i already tried installing it again

Well, could be a number of other of things, I suppose. One quick fix might be to just run a system restore to the point before you installed DX9 so you will still be able to play while you look for information on to what is causing this problem.

yea ive done that already and now it works but still dnt no why it didnt work

Some games just won't work with dx9, it's a shame but that's how it is.

If you really really need to play a game that doesn't have a patch and wont work with dx9, don't install it.

Anyone know how to remove DirectX 9.0a? Off a new system that is, so I could install good old DirecctX 8.1a... There has to be a way (besides reverting the OS) to get it off. Aynone have any links or apps that might be able to help me out?

Google is your friend.

(I've uninstalled dx9 from my system, and it worked fine).
