I had similar problems with another programme recently but I just updated my drivers and it was sorted.

*** Mark this is what is puzzling me ? John fixed me up with bang up to date Nividea card driver 71.9 and last night I went to Microsofts site and downloaded the DirectX again and over-wrote it,not sure if this is the version you mention,where can I find which version is installed ? the FS2004 is perfect,when the Wings of war is going through the install stages the graphic examples are fine,it just blacks out the screen when I click on the play burtton,really weird.Also the CDRom disc hunts when inserted and will not boot,and why is it unable to launch \dxsetup.exe ? I think if I could get past that stage then it would work properly.
Thanks anyway I understand the importance of this DirectX upgrade.
