• Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and my DirectX diagnostic tool says that my current version is DirectX 11, but when I try to run space engineers, it tells me that I need to run DirectX 11

  * Original title: DirectX and space engineers

  Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and my diagnosis tool DirectX says that my current version is DirectX 11, but when I try to run space engineers and use a world with planets, he tells me that I need to run DirectX 11. When I go to my DirectX folder, it says that I am running DirectX 9.0, I'm very confused and internet only helped me at all up to this point. All suggestions/help and help will be greatly appreciated.

  Well, is it not a strange ball game? Minimum = DX9 and DX11 for planets.

  Looks like no shore leave for you then... :)

  "NOTE: the minimum requirements are enough to run the game, but without the global functions,

  which requires DirectX 11. »

  "When I go into my file DirectX it tells me that I'm running DirectX 9.0"

  Direct X folder?

  Win7 has DX9, 10 & 11. However, older graphics cards are not be able to use DX11 (or DX10 if old enough).

  It comes to graphics cards which are older than AMD HD 5000 (version ' 09) and Nvidia GTX 400 (exit 10) series.

  EDIT: This also applies to the older map HD4000 Intel integrated graphics (Inc., HD3000, and all the "GMA" graphic integrated).

  ----------------------

  -Here is a list of the .dll Direct X files you when files are updated.
  There are more files DX (Xinput and audio), but these are most of the graphs related to Direct X .dll

  Go to Windows / System 32 folder (and SysWOW64 if you have 64-bit).
  -They are in alphabetical order and begin by d3dx9_24.dll > 43. Then d3dx10 - 33 43 >
  . & Finally d3dx11 - 42 43 >.
  It should also be--d3d9, d3d10 and d3d11. These come before the D3Dcompilers - 33 > 43.

  If all of these files is missing update Direct X using the DX Web Installer.

  Download DirectX end-user Runtime Web Installer from the official Microsoft Download Center

  Sometimes, a file is corrupt (mainly by games always reinstall DX unnecessarily). I have this case

  DX must be reinstalled using the full DirectX redist (June 2010) -

• Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

  My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

  My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

  Thanks in advance.

  You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

• Windows Vista home Premium 32 bit SP2: iTunes 10.1: there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

  I worked on it for about 3 days now. It's driving me crazy. I tried everything I could find to try to solve this problem.

  When installing iTunes it stops and a box will then appear to me said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support provider or package. "No error message or anything, that's all I get. When I hit the only button I can hit the OK button, it continues to install QuickTime. Sometimes, it will install the iTunes file and the shortcut, but the shortcut does never work and the iTunes file is always empty. I have download the installer directly from Apple.com and save to the desktop, a new copy after each test (just in case).

  Here is a list of what I've tried:

  • Apple Support page: difficulties to install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
  • Apple Support page: removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other components of software for Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • Apple Support page: iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)
  • 1,5 hour long session with Apple Support Tech, where we repeat the two steps albums created a new admin account and then tried to install on this account of troubleshooting. After it is has not told me while they could not fix the problem it was a questions and contact Microsoft Windows.
  • Microsoft Answers page: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/2aa2c368-2fa2-4fc8-bb2a-5d74ce34a856 (could not complete the download of the file has been removed)

  Yes, I am the administrator of the computer with admin abilities, yes I checked run this program as an administrator. I also made sure to stop all this as possible could interfere with the instillation, including my anti virus and what not even before I tried a clean boot.

  Is there anything else I can try?

• It's going to be an update for Windows Vista (home premium 32 bit is what I'm running) which will trigger the max score until Windows 7 is going to?

  I have these sides:

  CPU - 4.7

  RAM - 4.8

  Graphics - 5.9

  G. graphics - 5.9

  Disk hard - 5.7

  What I want is to be able to tell how my graphics card is really because it's maxed out at 5.9. I know that if I was running 7 it would be 6. _ or maybe even 7. _.  So is there an update I can download for vista which will allow my ratings reach the coast on windows 7?

  Not - or at least not likely (but the drivers, firmware or software updates regular for the device using Vista may helo).  The ratings are based on this device using the disks appropriate for your version of Vista device and it.  How it works in Windows 7 (if it works in Windows 7) is from THESE drivers and the operating system (and other components on this computer).  Even if you can and did move to Windows 7, there is no guarantee that you would get all the numbers even better less significantly better numbers - although it is certainly possible amd I know that it has been the case for others who have updated.

  The best place to check the updates of device driveer (or firmware or software related, if applicable) is either the manufacturer of the computer if it came with the computer or the manufacturer of the device.  Their websites should have the links and downloads and they will be the most recent and the best available (better that what you could get through Microsoft - in fact, I suggest strongly you never use the drivers supplied by Microsoft and always bring manufacturers directly. What is the most recent will be available to give you the best possible results (before the upgrade of the unit such as adding more RAM tp the video card if your system and it can accept more RAM).

  You cannot use Windows 7 device on a Vista machine drivers.  Not only which won't work (if it allows even the facility) and will not improve ratings but that could seriously damage your system or device.  Please take my word on it and don't even consider that it.

  Just check out the manufacturers for updates of device (drivers, firmware and/or software) and keep your system up-to-date with the latest available, and that's the best you can do.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
