57051 2002-06-25 00:24:00 The error suggests that you need a program called directx version 8, which allows the graphics to work.

This is a free program, download it from the link below and save it to you computer hard drive, then double click on it when it is saved and it should install.

Make sure you select the one for windows 95,98 and ME and not the one for windows 2000 from the download page or you may have to completely restore your computer!

If in doubt, get someone to do it for you as once installed it cannot easily be removed.

By the way, check that your caps lock key is off when posting (its considered to be the equivalent of shouting)

A good question though, and you have put it well, including telling us what operating system you have. So many forget that.
