People can't help you when not provided with information... error messages are there for a reason, not just to annoy you.

Go to start button, Run, type in dxdiag and enable hardware acceleration
You don't need so many exclamation marks to express your need of help. Edited by XlzQwerty1 on Dec 25, 2010 at 10:35 PM |

I've had this issue before, it usually means that d3d9.dll is in your halo custom edition directory, i would suggest moving it out of the folder to see if that helps.

Seeing that it's all your games it must be the video card. Be sure it's detected on your computer (hardware connected). Then you google up the driver, (dxdiag will tell you the specific name). Update the driver with download. Follow ALL instructions provided. Drivers are real touchy subjects, doing it wrong, well, your experiencing it. I've been through it before.
It's all about having the "right" driver update. The latest sometimes is ment for certain computers and you shouldn't install them. This will be specified at the manufactures site. Restarting a computer after the install is the usually must do. Contact the manufacturer for help when it continues to fail. Google up installing drivers, and common issues. A messed up install such as hitting cancel during the install becuase it appears to do nothing, can really mess you up. The ultimate price you pay sometimes is reinstalling/repairing windows. Retrace your steps with the last known setup you had that worked. It's an ugly process, and most of us have run accross it before. This is the wrong place to ask for help (now) since it's happening to all your games. Hope I helped |
