Do other games work?
If not then reinstall DirectX (try it anyway).

If that doesnt work try reinstalling the games... but I'm not tosure that ill do any good.

I'd send the dirsect3d device back to school until he did give accurate reports [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously... I haven't the foggiest. But no doubt some brainy person will know the answer [img]smile.gif[/img]

Test your Directx using dxdiag. Run the Directdraw test and the Direct3D test. If you encounter no problems it's probably the game or perhaps the driver.

BAH the directX Directdraw and Direct3D worked fine no problem and i have played those games on this computer before, but it might be a problem with directX 9 is there any way to remove it and install directX 8 instead?

Try updating your driver before uninstalling Dx9. Directx9 is fully compatible with Directx8 so there "shouldn't" be any difficulties there. However, a google on your error message showed a fix for your problem.
