JohnCarewsJockstrap Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Installed fine. Direct X gave me the option to install but when i tried it said 'Direct X setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of Direct X has been installed already. No installation is necessary.'. Fine, continued with the installation which finished and all was dandy. I click the icon to open it up and i get presented with this - "Cannot run game. Failed to set up graphics system". I have uninstalled and tried again, nothing. I have tried downloading Direct X directly from the Microsoft website and it tells me the same, i have the latest version. What's wrong SI? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The SiS card wasnt supported for 09 so it may not be good enough to run the game. Take the details and go to either the SiS or your computer manufacturers website and try to update the drivers and see how you get on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
