DirectX Problem

[EmuShady]

Well, somehow I don't have Direct3D anymore. I have no idea why, but because of this I cannot play any emulators, like PJ64.

I decided the solution was simple, and i re downloaded DirectX. Then I ran a dxdiag to test Direct3D; apparently I still don't have it installed.

If anybody can help me with this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I took some screenshots of what comes up when I try to run Project 64:

And then with Dolphin:

I have no idea why they say that I don't have Direct3D downloaded...

Are you using a video card or integrated video?
Are you using a stardard Windows XP version (Home/Professional)?
Is that DirectX 9.0c?
If you're using a video card, have you installed the latest drivers?
If you're using integrated video, does it have enough shared memory for Direct3D to work? Direct3D requires at least 8 MB of shared memory.

Make sure the slider on the troubleshooting tab of advanced video configuration is all the way to the right.

Butters:

I'm using an ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 SERIES video card.
Yes, I am using Windows XP Home Edition.
It is version DirectX 9.0c.
I went to the website ti download the latest drivers, but when I download it it says that the current version is already installed.
I'm not sure if it's integrated video or not, though...how can I check, or fix it for that matter?

Where is the slider at?

That's not integrated..

You can try reinstalling directx..

But more importantly, are you sure you have the video plugins for your emulator ? Because those errors look like you don't have any plugin installed (or selected) for your video rendering.

He stated he ran the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and found out his Direct3D acceleration is disabled or not supported.

So...what exactly should I do to try to fix my problem?

[Jale]

Try re-downloading and re-installing Project64 first.

[EmuShady]

And for Dolphin?

[Jale]

Solve your first problem first. We're not even sure.

[EmuShady]

I've already attemped solving it myself...after all this I finally decided to come here to ask...=P

Here is a screenshot of my dxdiag.

Seems like a driver problem to me. Video memory is not being recognized. Have you tried with the latest drivers? If not, get it here (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html).

[EmuShady]

I installed the driver and then ran dxdiag again; still nothing.

[Jale]

I'm running out of ideas. Have you contacted ATI about this case? Try looking for help in the AMD Customer Care (http://ati.amd.com/online/customercareportal/home.html) site. Keep in mind that it will probably ask you to register both yourself and your ATI product. Also, stay here for more members' answers.

[EmuShady]

Gah, oh well. Thanks anyways.

And yeah, i'll keep a lookout here.

You may need to install windows again if you can't get it to work :msn_devil
