Never had any games type software on this ere machine so decided to install one, a sort of Russian helicopter sim/shoot em up, it installed fine from the DVD, click on the desktop icon to run it and I get the message unable to find or open DXDX9_38.DLL.file
One sussed this was a Direct x file so did a search located and downloaded same,when I clicked on it it asked where I wanted the file placed? I have no idea,downloaded the whole of DirectX9 uzipped and installed it,still get the same message when I try to run the game.
Further research with the game installation disk it has its own version of DirectX9 which I told it to install but further noticed the advice also recommending turning it on,by that I assume it means turn DirectX on?, how does does one go about turning directx on?
Had loads of games type software on various machines over the years but I don't recall ever having to turn direct x on
Greatful for any advice been fannying about with this for hours.
