This link if was working seems to be broken, the website maybe down at this moment in time i spose.

This link give tells u what directx is and what its used for.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

Directx 9.0c is latest version (version 10 is on the verge or just been released, but so far havent seen any cause to rush a download this yet, and certainly dont think its required to pirates yet), u shud make sure this is on your machine, and that the version u have is not corrupted. U can get this from microsofts download centre, or google it many sites allow quick download.

As far as finding out what card and directx facilities you have current, u can run a prog called dxdiag (Start menu - run - type:dxdiag), this gives u details of all multimedia hardware, including directx, and has tests that can tell u if your software and hardware is running directx properly and at what level.

If your happy to do so you cud then use this to save you multimedia details to text file and print relating part up here, for others to see if you've got what it take to play, and if there cud be any problems there.

'Keep it Kool '

EDIT: yes nice link, explains it very well with pics. Good thing about dxdiag aswell is as i said above, u can make text file u can copy from to use for tech guys to help u, has all the info they need there...
