yeah hi i resently downloaded silkoad (looks like a great game) but it wont start up when i press start i keep getting this wheard warning. the title of the error is D3D9 application and its telling me that the refrence rendering device was selected but my computer only has reduced functionality refrence device installed and to install the directX SDK to get the full refrence device.

Image

then a error pops up saying generic application error enable debug output for deatiled infomation the prograb will now exit.

Image

also heres my computer specs

Image

ok it isnt listed on that error this is my grapcics card:

intel(R) 82810 graphics controller (microsoft corperation) i dunno if that might be the problem...if someone could give me a link to upgrade this it would be greatly appresheated



i also get this error after all that

any help would be great thanks

Yeah, DirectX is needed for pretty much every single 3D game on your PC. It's an absolute necessity, just like having the latest drivers for your graphics card is.

So make sure you get both. :]
