need help with the installation of directx 6.1 on Windows 7

I downloaded a free trial puzzle game called Pandora's box. When I tried to install my computer ask DirectX6.1 .my system runs on windows 7 hp. and I found some stuf directx in a search on my computer. I searched online for directx6.1 and it did not. I found directx9.0 downloaded and tried to upgrade but not worked, I even treid to find directx I could buy and drop-outs, but without success. so my question is where can I get this version of directx will run any game I want and how I install it?

DirectX 6.1 will not work on systems using NT technology (Windows 7 is NT 6.1, if you like and compatible with the versions of DirectX > DX8). The trial version does not work on modern processors, too. "Current puzzle online demos will not work on machines Pentium III or higher. However, all of the puzzles in the commercial version of Pandora's box will run on Pentium III computers and above. "(http://www.microsoft.com/games/pandorasbox/downloads.htm) there is a patch that allows only for the commercial version. I tried to run the trial in all the compatibility settings, always with the same error: "Unable to create surface DirectDraw. Make sure that DirectX is installed, and then try again. "To sum up - try another puzzle game. "192GO should be enough for everyone." (of the miniseries "Next generation jokes")

    Hello

    The link below is a guige to install a video card in your Pc.  In particular, it seems that you will have to perhaps specify the location of the new card in the bios and save this change before you install the new card - see step 4 in the guide on the link below.  If your new card fits into the PCI Express x 16 slot, you will need to define PCI Express in the bios and save the changes.

  • Need help with the installation of Windows XP Home on my Satellite Pro A300-1DZ

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

    I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
    I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

    BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

    My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

    PLEEASE!

    It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
    I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

    PS. the laptop has a Vista Basic sticker on it, but it is certainly the XP pro operating system. :)

    Hi jeff

    Here's your solution:
    1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
    2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
    3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
    4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
    5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

    Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

    Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

    implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

    And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p199: need help with the installation and activation of 10 Windows after completely uninstalling Windows

    Hello HP assistants.

    I need help for a specific problem. My laptop came with an installation of Windows 8.1. Then I upgraded to 10 Windows when it became available. After a while, I decided to uninstall Windows completely (to wipe the hard drive) and install a Linux operating system.

    Now, I decided that I want to use some software that is not available on Linux and if I want to reinstall Windows 10. My problem is that Windows has completely disappeared in a form any. So now, I need to download Windows 10 from an official source (which I think can be done fairly easily from the official source of Microsoft, although if there is a better, HP official medium to do this then please recommend it) and then I need to activate Windows some how.

    As has been made clear, I have the right to use Windows 8.1 and 10 but I would need to download Windows 10 and turn it on. Is there a way to do this? I'm literally stuck without solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you can simply perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • Satellite L300D - need help with the installation of the display driver

    Hello

    For 1 month, I need to update my display on my Satellite L300D driver (PSLC8C - 06NO19) with an ATI RADEON 3100.

    I tried to download the drivers on the Ati site, but when the installation has finished, nothing has changed. My driver is still the old man.

    I tried to download the driver from the Toshiba site, but for my model, I found the same old driver.

    Is there a way I can install the driver manually, like a normal computer? Or I'm stuck with this driver, given that Toshiba does not seem to take care of my old L300D :(

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    > I tried to download the drivers on the Ati site, but when the installation has finished, nothing has changed. My driver is still the old man.

    did you remove the old driver before installing a new one? The old driver must be removed and laptop rebooted and installed the new driver, then. Note, I read many threads on an installation driver from the vendor's site in this forum, as not recommended due to overheating which provided with the toshiba drivers updated

    I am configuring Sagepay to connect on the site of BC to hosted credit card payments and have done the following steps, but what don't get me? I've done all that I can see to add/change on the support site for BC, but certainly there must be something else to connect the purchase form online store checkout wise to take payments?

    I did an online chat with the support of BC Friday and they kept through extraction using "COD" and said that it worked fine, which of course was that no payment is taken using COD.

    However, when you click on credit card, he just fails, then there must be something missing. It was opened as a support call since Friday with no response from British Colombia, can someone help me please, obviously there is something I'm missing or not do?

    It seems that you have the method id of wrong payment on your order form.  Whether you use '7', which is for non-transparent gateways.

    Sagepay being seamless it must be '1' which I've since updated.  If please refresh and try your transaction again.

  • Equium A200-1V0 - need help with the installation of the recovery system

    I WANT TO DO A FACTORY RESTORE, BUT CAN NOT FIND MY DISK AND WHEN I PRESS ON 0 AT START UP IT ME GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE BUT ONLY WITH THE DRIVE AND I CAN FIND THE PROGRAM ON THE LAPTOP TO CREATE ANOTHER DISC! ANY HELP ON HOW I CAN RESTORE THE LAPTOP WOULD BE GREAT

    Thank you!

    If I m well to remember this old book was offered with Vista and recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery.
    This file is always available?
    Original recovery disk can be created if the laptop to factory settings, pre-installed Toshiba disk creator tool and recovery recovery image stored on the HARD disk.

    Of course, I don't know what it looks like with all this, but you can try to find this Toshiba tool and check if the creation of recovery disks is possible. If this isn't the case, then you have a problem.

    In General original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but I don't know if you can order it for this older model laptop. Check it out.

  • HP TouchSmart 420 - 1000 t CTO: need help with the installation of windows on a new hard drive for HP TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO (bought in 2012)

    My hard drive is failng in my computer I get the message that "the failure of hard drive" is imminent for several months now.  I did just recovery disks after I bought my computer and that you have ordered a new hard drive.

    I thought that the part of the setup of windows on a portion of the current hard disk that I need to replace.

    I want to just make sure that if I can restore the windows completely and that all programmes provided with the computer are on the recovery discs I want to do it myself - so I need to know I'm doing it correctly!

    Thank you very much.

    PS I found this web page below and I want to just make sure that it applies to me:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-420-1000-desktop-PC-series/5146292/model/5155758/d...

    This link in the post seems to apply to the situation.  If you have already completed the defined recovery disc then it should just be a matter of running the recovery disc after the new hard drive is installed.  The recovery disk set will be "restoring windows completely and all programs included with the computer".  Be aware that all other items that were installed or personal data will not be restored.  When replacing the hard drive, do not buy a disc exceeds the limit of 2 TB, such as published in the SPECS for TouchSmart 420-1000 t CTO.

  • Need help with the installation of the WebWorks tools order

    Hello world.

    Brand-newbie to your Forum and the development for the Playbook.

    Developed software and Web, mainly as a hobby for about 15 years and more. A number of associates
    and friends have Playbooks now, so I think trying my hand to redevelop some of my
    old software for the platform of the Playbook. I plan to just using WebWorks for now.

    What I would appreciate, is some clarification as to the order of installation of the tools.
    I have already installed ripple chrome just to get a peek at a few examples.
    The ' tools' section to WebWorks watch ripple as the first installation, but I do know that I read somewhere
    in the Forum that WebWorks should be installed "before" ripple. And if the ripple is already installed.
    It must be uninstalled before installing WebWorks because of potential conflicts.

    So is this the correct installation order?

    (Installation on Win 7 64-bit.)

    1. install the SDK WebWorks
    2. install VMWare Player
    3. install the ripple

    I also remember reading a thread where some mentioned problems of compatibility with the 64-bit version of Java.
    This box is running Java 7.0.90 - 64 bit.

    And finally, for the moment at least, what additional script libraries are the "must have".

    Thanks in advance.

  • Need help with the installation! Just bought a printer wireless HP officejet 6000.

    Is it possible to connect my Officejet 6000 wireless printer to my PC (windows Vista) by using the USB connection and still have available as a wireless printer to my wife (ASUS Transformer) Android Tablet?

    If so, what are the necessary steps during the installation.  Here, I chose the wired or wireless setup?  My House has already installed WIFI router, but my PC is right next to the printer, so the USB connection is great for the PC.  The Tablet is the reason why I needed the printer wireless.  Also, do I need a special application to be able to print from the Tablet?

    Hi Kyles,

    Yes, you can have connected USB printer to the PC and wireless for the tablet. You'll need to do is initially setup the printer using the connection Wireless in the software to activate the wireless to get your network settings. Once you have installed, you can run the installation again to do an installation of the USB. You should not need an app to print from the Tablet if the printer is connected wireless. If you do, I would suggest downloaded the HP Home & Biz app.

  • Need help with the Installation of Master Collection

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place, looked everywhere - has not found a forum on the installation or Master Collection - and I feel more comfortable here.

    I own the Master Collection CS4. It was a stand alone and not "upgrade version".

    As I usually do, I left CS3 Design Premium installed because I wanted to wait until all my plugins, etc. are compatible with CS4.  I've since removed CS3.

    Last night I wanted to use the first, for the first time and noticed that it had not been installed.

    I can't find a way to install a program in the suite of the DVD containing all the equipment installation.

    Is there a way to do so that I can add that I don't have?

    I called Adobe phone support. They tell me that I have to uninstall all Adobe software and do a new clean install of Master Collection. I try to avoid it, because I have actions, presets, plugins, preferences, etc. that I want to save.

    Please, someone, is it possible to short do taking an all-day task?

    Thank you.
