Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx and you should be able to find the download.\n\nIf it still doesn't work, it may be that your Operating System isn't supported.\n\n(From Micosoft's Website)\nSupported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows 2000 Advanced Server; Windows 2000 Professional Edition ; Windows 2000 Server; Windows 2000 Service Pack 2; Windows 2000 Service Pack 3; Windows 2000 Service Pack 4; Windows 98; Windows 98 Second Edition; Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter x64 Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise x64 Edition; Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition; Windows Small Business Server 2003 ; Windows XP; Windows XP 64-bit; Windows XP Home Edition ; Windows XP Media Center Edition; Windows XP Professional Edition ; Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Starter Edition; Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

What is your OS? Are u missing a file in Direct X or in windows?\n\nif you are using Win 98, then run SFC before installing direct X.  \n\nDirect X is available in plenty on the NET

I would check your direct X version and make sure that you are running the most up to date version.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

if your software is up to 9 you should be ok....what you should be worried about are high end graphis with enhanced pixel shaders. Most new games require enhanced pixel shaders, direct x 9.0 and other specs, you should be asking yourself how new is the game and how old is your card, if there is a big gap in age, be alittle hesitant.

Click Run in the start menu.\nType dxdiag\nrun all the tests on all the tabs\nIf you find a problem try updating to the most recent version of Direct X (microsoft.com.)  I think the most recent version is 9.0C.\nGood Luck

If you had a previous videocard on the system, make sure that ALL of the driver files are removed by using the manufacturers remove program. \nIf there are any traces of the drivers left, they will interfere with the install of the newcard. If this is not the case, I would say remove and reinstall the driver along with directx from microsoft.

usually it means that your drivers for directx or your video card are out of date.  try downloading and installing updates.

I'd say that Windows 98 is the problem.  Well, whatever the problem is, download the latest drivers from the manufacturer, for nVidia, http://www.nvidia.com/ and for ATi, http://www.ati.com/ it could also very well be the case that your card is not supported under Windows 98.

you have to go to www.3dgamers.com they have the latest update patch for the game ur version is probably 1.0 the most recent its probably 1.5 or 1.6 , just get the most updated one which will have the most recent date like \napril/30/06  etc.. any trouble updating e-mail me at \nlea94@netzero.com

Your system specs, with full hardware acceleration, are more than adequate for BF2 (if it's rather slow, that could indicate that you have an issue with your hardware support - i.e., you are using bad drivers or Microsoft Windows). There are a few possibilities for what the problem is:\nYour monitor could be starting to go (is it a CRT monitor?)\nThe connection to the monitor could be weak\nYour video card might not be properly seated (make sure it is tightly in place)\nThere could be a driver conflict (make sure you don't have multiple drivers trying to handle your video output)\nYou could be useing suboptimal settings for the game\nIf the game relies on DirectX it could be an issue with your version of DirectX - make sure you have the latest version\nIt could be an issue with some DirectX dependencies - make sure your system is fully upgraded\nIf the game uses OpenGL, it could be a symtom of Microsoft's substandard support for OpenGL\nIt could be a problem with the game - make sure you have the latest updates applicable\nIf could be a problem with your installation of the game - make sure all of its dependencies are in the right locations and that it only gets one choice for each dependency\n\nDid I say "few"? Oops, guess it was more like "many".

The problem with Sims 2 is that the Graphics Card must be Direct X 9.0c 'hardware' compatible, some are not!!\n\nOK. Click Start, Run and type DXDIAG, this little program will give you details of your hardware (relating to Direct X). Run all the tests and see if anything fails. Also make a note of the date of the graphics card software, then visit either ATI, nVidea or the manufacturers website and download the latest video drivers. \n\nIf it still fails take the card back to the shop and ask for a Direct X 9.0c compatible card. From experience most cards manufactured in the last 18 months should be compatible. Maybe it was old stock!!\n\nAnother tip while playing is to shut down everything else in the background, including your virus scanner (don't forget to turn it back on if you go online)

Make sure you use the new drivers from http://ati.com and not the ones that came with your card...this is a first start. Also, make sure you have the newest version of DirectX on your computer as well.
