DirectX Problems!
Hey! And Merry Christmas to All!
After reinstalling Win98SE yesterday, I discovered that somehow I messed up DirectX 9.0b. I'm using a Chaintech Geforce4 Ti4200 with the 45.23 drivers. Here's what the Dxdiag program says: ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 12/24/2002, 08:29:04 Machine name: DAVEKING Operating System: Windows 98 (4.10, Build 2222) A Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: n/a System Model: n/a BIOS: n/a Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.6GHz Memory: 512MB RAM Page File: 48MB used, 51MB available Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 4.09.0000.0902 32bit ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ DirectX Files Tab: No problems found.

Music Tab: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. Network Tab: No problems found. Beyond reinstalling Win98SE once again, what can be done to fix this problem? I can't run any D3D games like Warcraft 3 and Morrowind, but have no problems with RTCW:ET (OpenGL game).

Here's what the Dxdiag program says: If you re-installed Win98 over-itself without 1st removing any updates you may have applied to Internet Explorer then you may not be able to get a stable system again until you do a clean re-install as the updates invalidate the default setup.exe that win98/SE uses. You can remove DirectX, http://www.dxbuster.de/index_e.html and re-install it but see caveats.This may help. I would clean re-install this way, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/clean.html which will leave all the data outside the Windows folder and the programs files folder in tact but you will need to re-install most programs.

Hey!
Thanks for the quick responses! I forgot to reinstall the AGP chipset drivers needed for the ECS K7S5A MB! I reinstalled them and now DX works fine! Faustus Dave King -- Faustus HomePage | http://home.earthlink.net/~davidkinghsd/index.html ICQ : 329002 |
