Hey guys, I want to thank you alot for both your help. I rang up the PC company and they told me that my computer had out-dated my DirectX so me and my dad decided it better to start again. We backed up all our files onto a DVD disk and did a Full Destructive Recovery, started from scratch. Our computer is what it was like before and I have all of my DirectX info back. There is a small problem though, we back up our files but they dont seem to want to come off the disk lol, we followed the book and stuff but the programmes arent coming back. Any suggestions? If not, thanks so much for all your help :) Claire x

OKay, Harkin, when i went to that folder, first one that came up said WinVista, going into that it says, 162.22, going into that it says , Englsh and then into that one its got a whole list of things. their probably what you want but i dont know how to copy and paste them, i can copy them but i cant poaste them, sorry :) Toothtech, i went onto dxdiag and it has loads of info so ill copy it, maybe you two can get any useful info off that. Sorry, i know im not very good with computers but thanks for helping me anyway :) Machine name: Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6000) (6000.vista_gdr.071023-1545) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: DIXONSXP System Model: T9608 BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz Memory: 1022MB RAM Page File: 1125MB used, 1168MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 10 DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 6.00.6000.16386 32bit Unicode

I'm really grateful for your help but i did what you asked, going onto the device manager thing and it did have the exclamation mark but when i tried to update it, it said that it was all up to date. Oh and well, im not too sure what the first reply means lol... im a little slow :) I think that i need a new Adapter or card, if so can you recommend anything? or anymore tips or hints? i just have no clue aboiut what has happened. thanks alot :) Claire x

I hope im doing this right :) Well my problem is that I have Windows Vista and well, I play games mostly the Sims (woop) and it played perfectly. Everything was hunky dory until my Dad "accidentally" upgraded the computer and it got rid of the program we needed to play it, it says "Failed to find and DirectX 9.0c Compatible Graphics Adapter in this system," but it played it before so I was wondering if anyone could help because im not amazing with computers and I really don't know what happened. I just need to know if theres anything i can download to get it back again ect. Please help if you can, thanks Claire x
