Every time I try to run it I get a message that looks like the image attached to this post. What's going on? Is this a known problem? And is there a solution? I hope so...ThanX.:( Post by stoker // Apr 13, 2007, 3:40pm stoker Total Posts: 506 Have you right clicked the program before you ran and click "run as administrator"? :o Post by 2much4U // Apr 13, 2007, 4:19pm 2much4U Total Posts: 430 Yeah. It still has the same outcome, though.:( Post by prodigy // Apr 13, 2007, 4:39pm prodigy Total Posts: 3029 Dont know, but error messages from vista looks good! :D Post by Steinie // Apr 13, 2007, 6:11pm Steinie Total Posts: 3667 Have you ever had DirectX 9 on this computer yet? Did you upgrade to TruePlay 1.2 before trying to connect? The missing file on an XP computer is found in the C:/Windows/System32 directory not sure where it would be in Vista. It looks like a missing Microsoft file. Post by Jack Edwards // Apr 13, 2007, 11:04pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 There are some DX files that microsoft is purposefully not including in Vista. It's a violation of the licence agreement but you can copy the files from XP into their directories in Vista and your app should work. -Jack.

Peter Post by 2much4U // Apr 14, 2007, 2:32am 2much4U Total Posts: 430 Thanks for all the comments! I got it working now. Turns out that Vista comes with DirectX 10, and truePlay was looking for a file that comes with v9. I just reinstalled truePlay, but this time I checked off the "Check and Install DirectX" option. Thanks again!:jumpy: Post by 2much4U // Apr 14, 2007, 2:36am 2much4U Total Posts: 430 Dont know, but error messages from vista looks good! :D Yeah, and their less noisy too!:banana:
