Placebo 29 Posted July 12, 2003 Sounds like your DirectX has gone fubar, often when installing new gfx drivers you have to install the latest Directx again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight 0 Posted July 12, 2003 What I did was installed the drivers for my gfx card first, and then I installed Direct X 9a to see if that would fix my problem, but it didn't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted July 12, 2003 Not that it helps but I'm using 9a just fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight 0 Posted July 12, 2003 hmmm the thing is, when I try to reinstall my driver I get a stack overflow error. Is there a way I can uninstall my VGA driver? And about that DirectX 9a, will that DirectX buster take it out or will it only take out DirectX 8.1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted July 12, 2003 Uninstalling Direct X,Ive always uninstalled DX by deleting the folder an deleting it in the Registry.It worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Knight 0 Posted July 13, 2003 I somehow uninstalled my vid card driver (with a little trouble) and installed it again. Now it all works good, I guess i just can't use the Detonator 40 drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
