ERROR CODES

[NICK]

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO READ THE ERROR CODES ? 1ST ERROR: DIRECT DRAW\DX DIRECT INPUT 2ND ERROR: INITAILIZING JOY-STICK INTERFACE

[CMYanko]

I was getting tis before I had my game controller set up right. Until it was in and showed an 'OK' status for my joystick (2-stick) I kept getting this error. In my case I was having trouble install the Thrustmaster ACM card.

I ultimately loaded DirectX 8 and then it would install ok. Don't ask me why, it didn't make sence to me.

Direct X is an API its a generic code that everyone can use to work with windows.

DirectX provides a standard development platform for Windows-based PCs by enabling software developers to access specialized hardware features without having to write hardware-specific code.

Basicly its a standard language so that its a comon format for writing game programs.
