directx Please Help!!
Hello, I have a problem with my directx. In the diagnostic box notes there is
a problem with the direct draw and direct 3d. The version is directx 8.1. So compact told me to download direct sdk. so i did. and there is still a problem with the direct 3d and direct draw. So then i was told to remove direct sdk and download direct 10 home version and to remove direct sdk. But in the add remove programs there is no direct anything in my control pannel. The reason I got into all of this because i bought DarkBasic 3d game creator for my son. When we installed it and went to the cni function - which is an opption to debug the program you are woking on while it is running - but when i hit that button option i get an error that says "system error: surfaces could not be created. d3d devices do not support backbuffer but depth and hw acceleration. " So this is when i began to try to fix my directx Please help. I don't know anything about this directx. |

That software seems to have been around for a while, but have you checked
that your hardware meets the requirements, and did you download the update for XP? http://darkbasic.thegamecreators.com...m_requirements -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 __________________________________________________ _______________________________ "richlex" wrote in message ...

That doesn't necessarily mean using the latest version of the video driver. For example, I have an ATI Radeon X850 AGP video card and the latest version of Catalyst would fail those 3d tests (and the game I was trying to play which is why I ran the DX tests). I jumped back a major version (1st digit before the period character) and the DX tests passed and the game played okay. I then tested each incremental version (digits after the period character) until I hit one that failed the DX tests and where the game refused to load. Turns out I had to move back only one incremental version of the video driver to pass the DX tests and get the game to work. So check what version of your driver software is currently installed. Go to the video card maker's web site and check what was the prior major version and install and test with that. If it still fails, jump back another major version. When you hit a major version that works, it's up to you if you want to test forward from there through the incremental versions. |
