Guys, I need help.

 

I'm getting the dreaded DirectX error on Windows 7 64 bit.

Freshly updated graphics driver. Reinstalled DirectX 9. Have DirectX 11 installed as well.

DeskScapes uses some DirectX 9 helper files.

Because you are using Windows 8 and Microsoft did not ship the additional DirectX 9 runtimes with the OS, you may need to add them.
Please use the link at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 to install them.

This will not downgrade your existing files.

I have since rolled back the GFX driver, to no avail.

 

It all worked the other day.

The only difference is I added your birthday Dream by Po.

Don't mean to highjack your thread Jim put I am having problems with some dreams also. My issue is the mpeg 2 error yet I have K-Lite mega codec pack installed which includes the mpeg 2 codec. Once your direct 9 issue is resoved if someone can help me with this I would appreciate it. The link in the error window did not help my situation. I downloaded the InstalledCodec.exe, ran it and only enabled the microsoft codecs but CarGuy1's Another Earth Dream II would still not run. Also my DeskScapes is installed properly.

No problem,Ken.

I assume you are on Windows 8?

 

It also looks like you're running an older version of DeskScapes....may be the trouble?

Jim I probably should have stated that I am using Windows 7. Will the new version work on 7 and do you think that will solve my problem with the mpeg 2 error? I thought it was just a codec problem but like I said I have an mpeg 2 codec installed.

I have fixed my problem by rolling back to three drivers back on the nVidia graphics drivers.

Yes, Ken, the newest version on DeskScapes is what I run on both 7 and 8. May or may not fix your problem. If you are 64 bit, be sure to have 64 bit codecs installed.

Always remember the rule [particularly with GFX drivers] .... "If it ain't broke......" ...;)

Well, I'd agree with that, but guess what the first question usually is on these things when you contact support?

 

"Are your drivers up to date?"    X|

 

What's a redneck to do?    o_O       :P

I have been having an occaisional artifact from a menu, etc, left on my desktop lately, you know, one of those that require at least a log off/log on to get rid of, so I thought a gfx driver update might be good.   Nope.
