Background Information (unsure of it’s relevancy): About six months ago I contacted HP to verify my intended video card purchase would be suitable for my HP computer. They confirmed that it would be suited for the PC so I purchased the card, GE Force FX 5500. Not more than a week later when I was playing a game the video card blew out (believe it overheated).
Anyway - I haven’t played the game since then until just recently, when I try to load to the game I get the following error: "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."
When I contacted HP about this all they could do was verify I had DirectX 9.0 (I do) and tell me to bring it to a service center, which I’d like to avoid since the computer is now a week expired of its warranty. I’m trying to figure out what the problem would be without the hassle of dealing with HP….Any ideas?
