shaggydel Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Well, looks like I have a very similar problem. So far I have updated DirectX, video drivers (GeForce440 GO), and re-installed many times. I am on a laptop and my graphics card goes no lower than 800 X 600 resolution. I have played with the compatibility settings a lot and still no dice...My problem is very similar. I get a black space inbetween two portions of the "normal screen." It flickers quickly sometimes (refresh rate??? problem?). When i drag mouse over to right hand side of screen it jumps over to left hand side. Well, next I would like to downgrade directx to version 6.0 does anyone know where I can find that file? i have looked everywhere.Well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotsman Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 ShaggydelI don't think you can downgrade your directx without reinstalling XP, and I think XP came out with directx ver 8.1 as standard.You may need to start a new thread with this problem and highlight the fact its a laptop and LCD screen issue in the subject line, and include a dxdiag with your post.These guys are good at bug fixing when given a little time.I believe Ghost plays Dune 2000 on a laptop, you may want to IM him and find out what settings he runs at.Hope this helps a little.All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 indead you can not downgrade DirectX .. .an as for laptop play .. I use mine for Red Alert right now .. .Dune2000 has run fine on my previous one .. not shure about this one. I usually try the origional dirvers that came with the laptop if things go wrong ...
