Clueless girl needs help with 'effin Direct X

I liked Rehtt's 1st idea only if you uninstall DX and it does not reinstall at least you'll no you have bigger problems.
I f you would like to uninstall DX lets see if I can tell you how to go into safe mode.

I have XP PRO and this is how it works for me;
Reboot and hold F8 until a screen ask which drive you want to boot from
Keeping your left hand finger over F8
use your right hand on the up and down arrows to select your hard drive
press 'Enter' AND Hold F8 RIGHT after.
now another screen should come up I think will ask for which OS you want I just press F8 again.
NOW another screen will come up and you can use the up and down keys to select
'Safe mode’ it will bring you back to choose OS if there is only one choice press enter. Then you’ll be asked if you want to start in safe mode select yes. I may have added an extra step only it works for me this way.

With what I've written here in mind you should be able to figure out how your system
will reboot in Safe Mode.

It's damn stupid when they say
'oh press F8 at reboot for safe mode"
Just isn't that simple.

I’ve learned something this week: Keep Sims away from PC.

i'm pretty sure you'll find it's worth the hassle though

...you just keep pressing it after the large black and grey square on the screen. Should come up with a list like:

1: Boot normal
2: Boot in Dos
3: Boot in Safe Mode
4: Boot in safe mode with network


(not specific but you get the idea)

funny...topic says girl and it gets mad hits....even the ape writes more than once in this thread.

sell your moms PC and buy a new and better one. That was my tip for you.

Alienwarez

no, don't buy AlienWare....

But...you know? They look so darn pretty with all that cool greenish stuff. And the name is just plain cool.

I'm going to try all that rebooting stuff when my step-dad gets home. But, for now, I'm going to play the OLD sims with all the crazy expensive OLD add ons I got way back in the day.

I'll post again once we try it. Thanks so much for y'all's help!

girls... sims... are we gamer's hell? :Oo:

Heeeey...be nice to me!

I like things other than Sims. It's just what I'm in the mood for, is all. I like making them kiss in the hot tub, dammit! Is that so wrong?

Besides, I don't have enough money to buy the new Disgaea game.

...

And...yeeeup. This sure be Gamer's Hell.

ahahaha



I personally think Sims 1 without addons is better than Sims 2 itself.
