Warpstar's right.  Win NT and 2k do not support DX at all (they have their own universal drivers, can't remember what they are called, but if I remember right they were crap anyway).

Get yourself a copy of 98 (or hell, even 95) and see if that does it.

I seem to be able to install DX8 on Win2k Server just fine. I don't see 2k Pro would be any different. And you should be able to play newer games on 2k aswell (XP is build on 2k after all). Older games however...


oh, and Raa Tor'h have you installed Service Pack 2?

No, It's not a Compaq... It's a custom rig... But my dad had some guy put it together (They screwed him, cause he doesn't know PC's)

It's Win 2k Professional... But again, I played FS2 with it not 2 months ago...

And yea, Sandwich gave me the link to SP2 a while back and I got it... Which is another thing, Sandwich can game on Win2k.... So it's not the OS AFAIK

And I already have DX8, I downloaded it like 2 nights ago to overwrite the version I already had... Still didn't help...  I don't know what more to do...
