error during windows vista games

whenever I try to play a game on my laptop - windows vista - it displays an error that says: Falied to create DirectX device

How can I solve this problem?

Hi Aarthishetty,

Run the DXDIAG in the start search bar. The result should tell you what the problem is. I guess that you will have to install the latest version of directX on your computer.

    Thank you

    From: Brian

    Steve - very good suggestion.  You have to change the registry.  If you are not running an improved version of Vista, under Start, search, type regedit, and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile. Click Edit, new, string value and name IsShortcut. Name should have a red ab at the front and is of type REG_SZ.

    If this is an upgrade version, it is difficult to tell the location of the folder. Click on modify, search for, and then type in NeverShowExt and this is where the entry IsShortcut must be created.

    After installation, restart and the shortcut arrows should be back and the links in the Games folder should work.

  • Drivers error recover Windows Vista on Satellite A200

    Hello

    I replaced the HD of my Toshiba Satellite A200. Replicate the original drive of partitioning in the new drive and installed the original SO (Windows Vista) from the recovery disc.

    Everything was fine. However, when I booted Windows for the first time, he could not put an end to the automatic configuration phase. An error message appears on the screen: he had been unable to find all the drivers it needs.

    After accepting the error message, windows has restarted the system without giving me no chance.

    Can anyone tell me what was wrong with the Windows recovery process?
    How can I add the necessary drivers or skip the process of autoconfiguration to do more later?

    Unfortunately, no one can say with certainty what went wrong.
    Please set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install recovery image once more. It will be interesting to see if the same problem occurs again.

    You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover.  I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it.  If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.
