Aug 3, 2005I can't get DX 9b to update to DX 9c. I know it has to do with the fact that I slipstreamed SP2 v .2096 when I installed windows. what things to delete in the registry to allow for DX 9.0c to install over the 9.0b version.
VGA Do Not Support Direct X 9.0
Aug 14, 2009So I decided to play Mabinogi again , a RPG game, installed my driver, downloaded Direct X 9.0 , but when I checked DXDIAG, the current version of direct x was still 8.1. I have a the Radeon X300/X550 series for my VGA. Is my VGA perhaps too old to support Direct X 9.0? Or can you show me how to overwrite 8.1 with 9.0.

Nov 19, 2004First, when I go to install the ATI software and the installation screen for Windows XP Driver comes up....I get a Severe warning saying "Zero Device Instance Error" button. What does that mean? The rest of the installation goes fine but the TV tuner part will not work.It says Direct X is not installed and that there is no capture device.So, I tried to install Direct X again. When I go to install Direct X 9.0 I get a message that the "framedyn.dll" file cannot be found, so Direct X does not install properly.

Jul 31, 2006As I understood the information about this software (on MS site) I thought it was supposed to be a 'must have', or at least a 'should have'. I checked that my computer was found to be suitable, and I downloaded it from CNET (of course). It's on my computer somewhere...I think, on finishing the download I was required to declare somewhere to install it and I have absolutely no idea where that should/could be. Normally a download is followed by an automatic installation point and I just accept that suggestion. OK, hopeless, I'll say it for you! Can you possibly tell me...nicely...what I should now do? I have ie6 though seldom use it, preferring Firefox as recommended by so many here.
View 7 Replies View RelatedNo Internet With Direct Connection / Only Wireless
Apr 20, 2006I have a Gateway laptop running XP Media Center edition that connects wirelessly to a Linksys router. It works fine that way, but when I plug the ethernet cable in directly to the DSL modem and shut down the router, I get the "page cannot be displayed" message, even though the icon shows that I am connected and the lights are green. I know it is just something with my settings, but cannot get it figured out. I would like this to work, because a direct connection downloads faster and sometimes the wireless does not work due to interference.

Apr 21, 2008I am trying to restore an HP PC that shipped with XP Home OEM. The restore disk is damaged and a few files in the i386 folder are unreadable. My ultimate goal is to reinstall XP home without purchasing another license because technically I still own the license, but the CD is damaged.
My question is. Is there a difference between the OEM version the HP used and the OEM version that I purchased with hardware? Is it possible to install my OEM version with the serial number on the PC?
I was also pondering trying to recreate the disk by replacing the damaged files in i386 folder with files from another version of home OEM using nlite.
MS Dos Games Wont Run / Asking For Direct Hardware Access?
Jul 9, 2005Recently, I tried to run some old MS-DOS games under WinXP. However, none of my games was able to run (because all these games use the file DOS4GW.exe, which requires direct hardware access and extended memory, not supported by the command line)I tried every emulator i found on the net (DOSbox, Virtual PC, Virtual Machine) but nothing,So i decided to make a DOS boot disk . Everytime, i insert the disk, i will boot to pure DOS, and when i eject the disk, Windows XP will load.

Checkdisk Error Cannot Open Volume For Direct Access
Feb 21, 2006This problem started happening randomly and now I cannot run checkdisk at all on reboot. Basically I cannot run Checkdisk at all on my OS drive because it always says in Windows that it is in use and needs to run the scan on next reboot. After I reboot, the above error message displays (see thread title).I've ran a virus scan and spyware/adware scans and I'm now pretty sure that it isn't the issue. I've tried disabling all non-essential services in services.msc and disabling all startup items under msconfig.exe, neither of which made any difference.I'm really beating my head against the wall on this one, I have no idea what the cause is?

Jul 29, 2008Yeah I have reformatted my hard drives a few times over the years so I am no stranger to it however I am just curious about something. When I go to reformat with my DELL Windows XP Home Edition CD I will then revert back to SP1. I have SP3 installed onto my computer right now. I also have a SP2 CD I got from Microsoft about 3 years ago or so. Should I first install the SP2 cd or is there no need to do that seeing SP3 should have all of SP2 updates in it?

4) Repair install win winxp cd.
5) Deleted and re-installed network card
This is where I am now. Still no http://. Since multiple applications are affected, I do not think it is a browser helper.
