+Piecemeal Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I just downloaded Strike Fighters 2 and to my dismay was told that: "The program has failed to initialise because d3dx10_40.dll could not be found." I presume that means that I need to download Directx 10, although I thought it was already on my laptop which operates Windows Vista. Where can I find it for download on the Microsoft website? I don't seem to be able to find it there. Quote

+Piecemeal Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Just update to the latest DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en Done and dusted. On my way to check out all those new models and cockpits with a foaming mouth... Quote
Spinners Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I'd love to know how the game looks in Vista with DX10. I can 'upgrade' to Vista for about £90 but some people reckon Vista is a COS and there's also talk of Vista's replacement coming sooner than expected. Quote
+MigBuster Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 yeah Windows 7 - nothing to say when it will actually be released thou - and they are always delayed anyway. Quote
zmatt Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I've seen the internal beta of Windows 7. I know a guy who is an M$ beta tester. It looks just like Vista visually but is a lot faster. They shouldn't have the speed issues that existed with Vista at launch. Quote
+starfighter2 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Yea - Windows 7 rocks in beta 1 stage - OS needs about 15 seconds to start. Looks like Vista (my favourite OS btw), and have speed comparable with XP > If I can judge about present look and feel of beta 1, we can expect final version in 2009, (I hope so :yes: ) but.........Windows has always drawn speculation; probably because it is so intrinsic to everything that we do with computers. Windows 7 was originally time-lined 2011, later reports put it at 2010; and now 2009 ?!? All this smoke of Windows 7, being released in 2009, may have led to confusion in the minds of the Windows Vista user. Did he make a mistake in upgrading? Or should he have waited? Microsoft feels that there is STILL a lot of innovation and value that needs to flow to the customers, from Vista. First - there will be SP2 for Vista (in beta testing for some time), then Windows 7 release. Edited January 2, 2009 by starfighter2 Quote
