thx that makes it all better but the person i spoke sounded like she didnt know any thing but i can get drect x to work and the more i think about it thta muct be the problm. which makes me think is there away to uninstall dx then reinstall in

nope ms said that i should reformat my pc but i cant do that

How does this new ATA serile connection work

i tried the update for generals still no luck same problem why me!!!!!!!!

i will try to but this patch you speak of i have downloaded all the other westwood patches for the game and i still get the problem

what virus protection do you use becuase if you use norton 2003 it will couse the game to crash i know this becuase of i had this problem

my windos is genuine that came preinstalled on my pc

Direct x hangs and then tells me that a file was nt copyied it s always the dame one called "MSPQM.SYS" and is located in c:windowssystem32drivers and so i dont know what the problem is recentaly a new direct x problem has occured when i got into DXDIAG it says "the last time this program was opened there was a preoblem with directsound. Do you wan to bypass" if ou say yes you get aload more of these error but at diffrent part such as direct draw do you know ow to fix the problem or will a clean reformat and reload do the trick

well bugger i jsut installed drect x from the "redist" and it hang on that same file again

I have been to your link i have downloaded the "redist" version of direct x this seems to download to whole thing which to me sounds like the correct thing to do in my situation. Do you agree?

I have downloaded new drivers but sadly this has not corrected the problem the driver that was download was "winXP/2000 41.09" from the Nvidia site. Still the game does not work and i have tried the compatibily wizard and yet it doesnt work. My main concern is this issue i have with direct x do you know of a way to make it download a freash copy of there site?

The one they have are just the Nvidias generi driver that i have already tried. Have you ever heard of my problem befor?

well i did try to install direct x 9 but some where down the line when downloading it there was a problem and direct x 9 is not able to install. every time i try to restart the installation it does not download a fresh copy of direct x but insted uses the one i already have which is currupt. I have tried to install updated graphics card drivers but again there is a problem with doing this. I use my dvd player on my pc and then conect this to my tele so i can watch movies but to tell the graphics card to switch to an analog tv i have to select a pal tv with in the graphics options. When i update my graphics drivers i lose the ability to do this for some reason so i cant update my drivers. My ram is a single card 256 as you know but i have no problem with heat with in my pc as it is a medion design XL case which basicly means that the case is very cool with a couple of wind tunnels at the frount. So in terms of heat dispation i think my case it fine. do you know of a way to reinstall direct x 9 but actually downloading a fresh copy or away to get around my graphics card problems? Thank you so much for trying to help me i am very greatful
