'DirectX' Problem
If you don't have DirectX 8.1 or later installed,
then you should install it now and see if that fixes the problem.
You can get the latest version of DirectX from the Microsoft web
site at www.microsoft.com/directx
If you already have DirectX 8.1 or later installed,
then try these fixes:
Possible Fix #1
If you have Windows XP and you recently installed
some Microsoft Security Updates, we are getting some reports that
one of those updates is having unintended side effects, one of
which is that it causes the game to erroneously report this error.
The security update is:
Q811493: Security Update (Windows XP)
If this applies to you, then try uninstalling the update, then
try the game again.
Possible Fix #2
This newly available patch is available
here and fixes this problem for many people (although some
people unfortunately continue to experience this problem even
after applying the patch) Download the patch and install it to
see if it fixes the problem.
Possible Fix #3
If the above fixes didn't work for you then try
this:
1. On the game's main menu, click on "Options"
2. Click on "Performance"
3. Click on "Manually Adjust Settings..."
4. Find "Allow Projectors" and turn
it off
Now try the game again. The only thing you'll
be missing as a result of turning of projectors is that you won't
see grafitti on the walls of some buildings and you won't see
lines painted on the streets.
