DX9.0C driver probs ATT: GLEE
Hi Glee,
Have downloaded this driver, but not installed yet...am concerned that it appears to be a considerably lower version than the driver currently in use. e.g, you recom a v1.32, but have a v4.1 in use now that does not work. Would appreciate your reassurance thanks Stella Subject: DX9.0C and driver probs From: "Stella" Sent: 9/29/2004 4:37:28 PM Hi Glee, Appreciate your prompt reply,,,, Will try your suggestion and hopefully won't be back! thanks again, Stella -----Original Message----- Try the generic driver v. 1.32 from SiS for that chipset: http://download.sis.com/ -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Stella" wrote in message ... I have copied this post from the DirectX section as no- one appears to be monitoring that forum...hopefully someone here can assist? Hi All, I am a novice so please bear with me here... I have win98se, and had DirectX8.0 installed. Today i bought the Sims 2 game and installed it. During the installation it advised I had to upgrade to DirectX9.0c - which was on the disc provided - which I did. Installation complete, but game won't open. Error message appears stating: "failed to find any DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system. please make sure you have DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer". According to Device Manager & listed under Display Adapter, I have an AOpen SIS6326 (GPU) driver v.4.11, chip type 6326 RevC5. There are no conflicts. Does this mean I have to upgrade the sis6326 driver? If so, to what? The SiS download webpagr does not even mention this driver, let alone which one to upgrade it to. Lastly, the DX diag tool - 'display tab' mentions the driver doesn't support Direct3D 9+, and also suggests testing functionality of DirectDraw and Direct3D. The Direct3D test stated that the display driver does not support API (DDI version too low). Would appreciate any advice as I don't know what to do. Many thanks, Stella |
