Gens dosnt work?

Well gens requires Directx 7 so it seems there's definitely an issue with your DirectX install.

I would download the latest DX9.0c from the microsoft site and do a fresh install of it. All versions of DirectX are backward compatible with previous versions so if its reporting components missing from DirectX 5 then there's a problem with your DirectX install, even possibly a wider problem with the windows registry.

If you are running with a legal and updated copy of Windows then you can either repair the install using your windows disk or do a completely fresh install.

I DID reinstall DirectX9 like I said in my previous post. My computer came with Windows XP. I got it around June of 2007, and Gens never worked on it, not even right when we got it...

Don't really know what else to suggest. It definitely appears to be driver related either a DX component, a graphics driver component, or something else thats become detatched from the registry.

Dependent on how badly you need gens to work Its worthwhile making sure all drivers (graphics, sound and chipset) are up to date, windows and Dx are up to date. If that still doesn't work then I'm stumped. Maybe the machine has on-board graphics which can cause problems with some emulators.
