|  DX9 problem... maybe?
ok I just got Need For Speed Carbon for my PC and when i tried to load it up it said this. "This installation cannot continue because this game requires DirectX 0 or higher to be installed on your system. You can download the latest version of directX here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx"

so I went to the website and downloaded what it told me and to make sure it worked i tried it again and got this. and I tried the game again and it still didn't work, so i figured it was the game so i took it back and exchanged it and now I am getting the same thing with the new game. any idea what I can do?

Try and update the video drivers from ATI's website. If that doesn't work try a system file checker scan. | |
