When I compile a sample programme, I get Directx errors, variously telling me Directx isn't loaded or version is wrong.

DXDiag tells me I have DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Regards Tim

If in doubt, just install the latest version from the Microsoft website. DirectX 9.0c is updated at least bi-monthly.

OK,

I've updated the Directx runtimes and Nvidia drivers and at least I can compile and run one exapmle i.e. the water demo (at over 400 fps?).

Flowing fluids - pressing space does nothing (at 765fps) and selecting [2] or [3] crahes the programme. Fluids and Force Fields just crash.

The Template demo - nothing works - is it supposed to?

So, basically, whatever the reason/s, I cannot say that I'm impressed. Sorry.

When it is too complicated it is because you are trying at the wrong door.

Okay, thanks, I must have missed the bit where it said I required these drivers!

Anyway, I appear to be stuffed, as I am running with a Nvidia GeForce GO 7950 GTX, on my Dell laptop, and this doen't appear to be supported. So, for the time being, I'll take another look at DBPRO only.

Thanks for reply.
