If you know what a video card is you're not a female!

Trying to be serious, I really have no idea, there should be an EA support phone number on the box, sorry but could not guess any better.

LMAO

be nice :P

Any way, I have been trying to understand this thing too, in the thread Nxs gave you, it seems that people who installed dx 9.0c without a previews install of other Dx had some problems running the game (that is what I think) OR, they all have Intel cards

*pout* Please, people. It's not like I knew what my video card was before this. Some dude told me to type in DXDIAG, and it told me there.

And my teeth hurt. *more pouting*

CherryMiwako · 10-01-2004, 07:40 AM

Guuuuuuuuys! You're not helping.

o.o

I think I'm high. All these painkillers I'm taking is starting to take affect. Hahaha!

Anyhoo, stepdad's going to try uninstalling old Direct X and reinstalling the new one. Wanna take bets if it'll work?

Nxs · 10-01-2004, 07:44 AM

FYI to uninstall directx, you have to format

CherryMiwako · 10-01-2004, 07:44 AM

Okay. Can we go back over that formatting thing one more time?

Cow · 10-01-2004, 08:21 AM

ok ok heres what you do. go to start run and type 'trust the damn files you sorry son on a...(well im not gonna go there but anyway)' then click enter :P

CherryMiwako · 10-01-2004, 08:25 AM

Okies. I found what I thought to be a solution to uninstalling all the old DirectX files.

It recommended I restart the computer in safe mode, then run UNDX9.bat.

Well...after going to my Windows XP help, it told me how to restart the computer in safe mode. When the computer was rebooting, hit F8 when the screen that said "Please select operation system" popped up. Well boy and girls, no such luck. No screen popped up like that *at* all.

So, what do we do now?
