I really need a fix for this. I've played the game on this computer recently and this problem just started overnight. It makes no **bleep** sense. Why is it that this game simply will not work one way or another?
Uninstall the game
Install directx drivers from scratch.
Update graphic drivers to newest (even if you've already repeat by doing a clean install)
Run DXDIAG.EXE and go to the tab Display, check if DirectX-Functions are all enabled.
Restart the PC
Install the game
See if that works.
Could you explain how to install the Direct X drivers from scratch? Do I need to remove the current drivers first and reinstall?
In theory you cannot really remove direct x, you just override the installation, but anyhow I doubt it is the real issue you've.
