Windows 7 Beta 64 Bit

Post by skootr » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:26 am

Is anyone able to get WinEQ2 to work with Win 7 64 bit? I just did a fresh install and when I go to launch winEQ2 I get a Direct X warning about not having the latest version. I've tried running as admin, UAC off, compatable XPsp2 mode, ect ect ect, and no joy.

Any input on getting this to function?

Yes. The answer is to follow the instructions in the box that popped up. Windows does not ship with UPDATES TO DirectX, just the base files for DirectX 8, DirectX 9.0c, and DirectX 10. Having DirectX 10 does not mean you have the DirectX 9 updates, they are separate and used for completely different games in most cases.

Go here..

Run the installer, which will update DirectX 9 with the November 2008 updates, and then you will be able to use the software here.
