Title of the game ?

Btw always tell it to install the DX, it will prompt you telling that theres no need cause your current version is better.

GAME: Star Trek: Starfleet Command III

Error: when i run the game it get past all the publishers and producers logos
and gay animations, past the games intro FMV, then i get an error messages
which says

"DirectX 8.1 is not installed, please install DirectX 8.1 or newer version"

well like i said i installed 8.1 off the game CD and from the net and still not
working...also when i reinstalled the game i installed 8.1 this time when asked
to....still not working.
Which is stupid because i have games that run using DirectX 6 and 7 :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

Download the "SFC3_DX9_Fix.exe" file, that might work.
