I'm having trouble with DirectX eradicator and i'm wondering if anyone can shine some light on it. When i start the tool it says:
"This version of windows is not supported. DirectX Eradicator will now close"

I'm running Windows XP with service pack 2 and all windows updates have been done?

any help would be much appreciated.

[Overture]

hey, I aint a n00b bud, I just didn't bother registering until I could be of some help.

Direct-x eradicator doesn't support SP2 I believe. You could try uninstalling that first, if you're desperate. I'm looking for another way atm...

Here use this, it's called directx happy uninstall 3.4

For people having random crashes read on. when I first started playig the game (few days) I had no problems with crashes, I had noted that others were posting that they were, and I was glad I didnt. Later, I started having random crashes, I tracked it down to (mainly) users tracks, though I can say that I think it has crashed on loading a regular radio channel track. But this is a fact, I started turning the radio 'off' all the time, not ONE single crash since.

for those who asked, I run a sblive, have tried all the stuff on this post [except DX downgrade-which I will start after doing this post. and I Have tried all the options in the speaker configuration-still doesnt help.

Ill keep you posted on how the DX downgrade works.

[livingzombie]

I can't downgrade Direct X. That program won't let me do it because I don't have the backup files for some reason and I can't get them without registering the damn thing! Is there another way to do this?

[Overture]

Bump - the con rocks on!

Hey Living Zombie - Have you tried both programs for DX downgrade?

hey i didnt mean to call you noob dude i meant the dates we joined thats why them mods think that this aint no good anyways directx happy uninstall 1.2 is more "stable" than the 3.4 if you know what i mean

[Overture]

That's cool bud, it was more aimed at the mods than at you.

Cheers for the 1.2 info


EDIT: - Know where to get it? It's not on the dev website.

here you go bud

just an update-I have tried all the fixes listed on this board for the SBLive /rain bug and nothing worked[problem goes away when not raining-so if you think yours is fixed go to LV, where it happens to me and wait for it to rain. then you will know for sure if it is fixed]

I should say the only one I havent tried is uninstalling SP2 and downgrading DX. as I said in another post it seems like a bunch of crap to have to rip sp2 out to play especially when they could test a g2mx vidcard, but cant be bothered to run a rig with a sblive sound card in it in all eax environments

whatever, Im just super pissed off about this. Ive spent all day [actually 2 and a half days] trying different drivers, different utilities, different system restore rollbacks...DAMN

[Overture]

Updated - Cheers neu_lyf.

Yea I did. The first one doesn't work cos of service pack 2 and the second one can't find any backup files.

[Neu_Lyf]

hey zombie dude you need to insert your original win xp cd in your drive to backup dx 8.1

peace tell us when it works

[Alxwin]

Bump!

[Overture]

ALso Zombie, try 1.2 of happy dx uninstaller rather than the 3.4. Link should be above.

[Neu_Lyf]

hey overture that emulated fix you found is real cool dude the only problem is that when changing the values make sure you only turn wdm to 1 cause some peeps had conflicts with it

peace

Ah thanks. I did try it before and it didn't work but I tried again and it did Oh well, it's uninstalled now.

But I'm a little confused about this (sorry about being a complete noob) but could anyone help me as to where I can get DX 9.0B? I looked on the microsoft site but there's loads of them and I tried downloading a few but none of them had an installer or anything!

Edit: Ah nevermind, got it. Didn't fix the problem though

I've tried downgrading the EAX and the Direct X, I tried the Emulated drivers fix, I checked my speaker config and tried dowgrading the aceeleration level and none of them stopped the sound from cutting out every now and then. Any ideas?

Edit 2: Ok, I tried compatibility mode and I think that fixed it. I need to test it for a bit longer but I need to get to bed now Thanks everyone!
