No Physx processor installed
Hi
I am running Vista Ultimate with a DC 2.6 Gig CPU. I have a nVidia 8600 GTS 512 meg card, when I open nVidia Physx Properties in Control Panel it says on the info page. "No Ageia Physx processor installed" Any ideas on how I can fix this? The game I have that uses Physx is Train Simulator. thanks Daniel |

This century's answers to AOL and WebTV. Yes I did cheers "No AGEIA Physx Processor Installed" is completely normal as you're not using the PPU which is also supported by the Physx driver. You're using "Geforce Physx" which is listed under settings. You can use this to switch GPU Physx on or off. |

Thanks, I think I understand, does this mean I need to install a Physx Processing Unit as well, and use it in conjunction with my GPU? thanks Daniel |

Thanks, I think I understand, does this mean I need to install a Physx Processing Unit as well, and use it in conjunction with my GPU? thanks Daniel No, the GeForce 8XXX and up graphic cards from Nvidia are supposed to support PhysX effects. I know my 8800 does. You may find some games run unacceptably slow when you add the extra overhead of the PhysX effects with your less capable 8600 though. Bill -- GMail, Google Goobers and Web to Usenet gateway users. This century's answers to AOL and WebTV. Bill Okay so I am back to square one, I have the latest drivers for both GPU and Physx installed as administrator, so where to from here. BTW, I meant Rail Simulator not Train Simulator, and Physx capability is installed as a part of it's install routine. Bit of a difference, that. regards Daniel Do you now have a Nvidia PhysX icon in the control panel? Bill -- GMail, Google Goobers and Web to Usenet gateway users. This century's answers to AOL and WebTV. Yes I do, before this it was the Ageia Physx Icon, both were the same, that is how I get the Physx Properties up. regards Daniel |

Well, a start would be to click on the icon to open it. Fiirst tab
is 'Info'. It will tell you what PhysX engines are installed. The following are installed v2.8.1 v2.8.0 v2.7.6 v2.7.5 v2.7.4 v2.7.3 v2.7.2 v2.7.1 v2.7.0 v2.6.4 v2.6.3 v2.6.2 v2.6.1 v2.6.0 v2.5.4 v2.5.3 v2.5.2 v2.5.1 v2.5.0 v2.4.4 v2.4.1 v2.4.0 v2.3.3 v2.3.2 v2.3.1 Next try the demos under the 'Demo' tab. Then there is always the ubiquitous 'Help' tab. Was no help at all If the demos work it's installed. I get an error box that I need DX9c installed, I have Vista and DX10 installed If the game doesn't work there may be settings in the game you can change. The game does work but it will work without Physx processer installed If not you'll have to get help from the game people; I don't run that game.

I was under the impression that DX10 was supposed to be backwards
compatable. Googling. 1st hit on "Vista and DX9" As found he http://www.ngohq.com/news/9608-vista-requires- directx-9-neowin.html Turns out that Vista's DirectX 10 is not fully backwards compatible with DirectX 9, and Vista does not ship with the components required for all games that utilize DirectX 9. Therefore, if you get any errors about missing DLL files from games when you try to run them in Vista, then you'll have to actually download and install DirectX 9. Did you check to see if there were any settings in the game that referred to PhysX? Bill -- GMail, Google Goobers and Web to Usenet gateway users. This century's answers to AOL and WebTV. A couple of excellent points, I was not aware that I could install DX9c on top of DX10, I will give it a go. The game settings do not refer to Physx specific settings, I will ask the game support site which ones are Physx related. thanks for your perseverance. regards Daniel |

It seems from the game site that there is a lot of doubt around the games ability to utelise Physx processing, so I guess that is about as far as we will get. Thanks for your help through this. regards Daniel |
