Vista Help

[williwaw87]

Does vista work with SoS? and if it does, why isnt it working on my computer. i have all the requirements except for direct X which wont work on my computer. can someone help me please? BTW, i have direct x, just not direct x 9

Vista Basic works on my laptop for SoS. Try using google and download the latest possible direct X(version 10).

But you can try this one if finding the latest doesn't work:

i just tried to download directx10, but it says that an internal error occured. (this is when i ran it) It says to refer to my DXerror.log and DirectX.log in my windows folder

Ok so i downloaded direct x and met all the requirements for SoS. Yet it still shows the black screen on it. What do i do?

Checked that your videocards are up to date on updates? If it continues showing a black screen you should bring further questions to the troubleshooting subforum of SoS.

where do i get the video cards? are they on the site? i remember trying them, but i dont know which to get. BTW, this computer is on vista home premium, and it is less than 4 months old.

You can go to this thread: http://www.outspark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28453
It will tell you how to find out what video card you have, as well as provide links to drivers for the most common cards and a link to the minimum requirements in case you need to check if you meet them or not. I hope that helps:D
