theavonlady 2 Posted March 15, 2004 Did you originally install OFP before or after installing DirectX? If you installed OFP before DirectX, I would suggest uninstalling OFP, deleting all remaining OFP folders and reinstalling. If that doesn't help, have you run DXDiag? Any errors reported? Also, gives us detailed specs of your system's PC and the video drivers you're using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted March 15, 2004 I did some dx8/dx9 switching (back and forth a few times) some time ago and never had to reinstall ofp. Actually, i never had to reinstall ofp at all since v1.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but there have been cases of people who installed OFP before they had installed DX (W98 only, if I'm not mistaken) and OFP refused to work until the uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Placebo 29 Posted March 16, 2004 If all else fails installing your OS over the top of itself (repair option) should reset DX to the original install version, only thing you'll lose is updated windows files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
