I need help!!!
Link | by overlordsero on 2006-01-06 13:58:22
I installed Halo on my laptop.
Bu tit is not working.
It says:

"A problem occured initializing DirectDraw. Harware Accelerator maybe Disabled. Please run DXDIAG"

I do and I test the DirectDraw and it works. Also I have no accelerator for the DirectDraw. I also cant get Ragnarok to work or Gunz:the Duel either. Is there something wrong with my DirectX?

That is what version it says it is.
And the DirectX files are like 5.03.2000ish.2000ish or 5.01.2000ish.2000ish

So i am confused why it doesnt work.

What version of DirectX does it say you have on the first page (the system tab) at the bottom? (Should be 9.0c)

The other thing it could be is that computer doesn't have a graphics card that supports directdraw, or that it could be a detection error in Halo, I've had those on other people's computers and I've figured out how to fix most them.

I have tested the Direct Draw and it the tests show that it works.
I have no accelerator for it though, so I do no know if that is it.
Also, maybe it is Halo....I dont really know and I do not know were to get an accelerator, so I cant test it out.

Can you run any other graphically demanding games like Halo on the laptop?

Just so you know, a graphics accelerator isn't a program you can download; Ryoko is an idiot. Your graphics accelerator is the graphics card you have installed in the computer.

What are the specs of your laptop? If i remember Halo is quite a mid-high demanding game.

"What time is it?" "5 to half".....

Try downloading and reinstalling DirectX from Microsoft.

I think I am going into the help center at school for the laptop.

I was hoping I could just fix this myself, but I think they may have to look at it.

Thanks to all who posted ^_^

Hopefully it will be fixed soon ^_^

have to wait for a couple days...T_T

The problem might be the Video Card of the laptop. It is somehow that your Video card doesn't meet the following requirements for the game you installed.


Cardcaptor Sakura: Blooming Days!: Dreams and Fantasies Becomes A Reality
