Chris_Flowers Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Those having problems, have you installed DirectX 8? I downloaded it (its actually out now) and I have had increased peformance in all games. Gotta be worth a try eh? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 From what I've read, it seems more people are having problems with DirectX 8 than with DirectX 7; I have DirectX 7.0a, and have only encountered a few minor bugs, which I easily go around... ------------------ "Show me a man who's gentle and kind, and I'll show you a loser." -Meet the Parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Flowers Posted November 23, 2000 Author Share Posted November 23, 2000 Well I am using DX8 and I have had absolutely no problems with EMI or any other games for that matter. I am also using Windows ME though??? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Well, that's the thing about PCs... Everyone's system specs are different, so what works perfectly on one system might not work quite right on another. I have to deal with something similar for my job, but on a much smaller scale. I'm also running Windows ME, though it's been buggy form some other stuff. But I think the best thing to do for those who encounter bugs is to download any available patches from LucasArts' web site, and barring that, contact their Tech Support. ------------------ "Show me a man who's gentle and kind, and I'll show you a loser." -Meet the Parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola Posted December 27, 2000 Share Posted December 27, 2000 chris , could you tell me a website , where directx 8 can be downloaded please help !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 If your not using Internet Explorer, open it up now. See if you have a "Tools" menu at the top. If so, click on that to see if you have a "Windows Update" option. If so, click on it. If not, go to this site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ (using Internet Explorer) If you see a page that has a link for "Product Updates," click on it, and wait for the page to finish loading. When the page is done loading, scroll down a bit, and you'll see that one of the checkboxes has the option of installing DirectX 8.... ------------------ Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery.

Most likely your download was corrupted somehow, or Microsoft's download server was down... Try updating again... Or try downloading it here. ------------------ Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery.
