Will not load

[handthrottle]

Hi All
Have just got a new computer, loaded Phoenix, or tried to, goes nearly to end of loading then this appears:

D3DX9_30.DLL.

Any ideas??

Also, cud you tell me how to download all the latest 'new' versions. To tell you the truth, I havent download anything new since I got Phoenix quite a while ago, do I have to start down loading from the beginning or is there 1 that will cover the lot??

Please keep it A B C terms, I'm useless with computers.

Much appreciated
TC

Uninstall phoenix on ya pc ... then delete the folder in programs and start again ... Download 1.04i .. Then update to 1.05j

Here is the latest downloads

Oh and make sure you have the latest vid drivers for ya PC as well

the D3DX9_30.DLL looks like its part of the DirectX 9 D3D graphics that 99.9% of games and sims use as its Microsofts libraries for graphics stuff, so it could be that you dont have a new enough version of DirectX installed (most programs ask you if you want to install it when you install the main game/sim etc)

So might be worth putting the phoenix disk in and seeing if theres directX on there, if not, should be able to download it from microsoft somewhere.

Also could be installed from your graphics card drivers too.

Worth trying both if you can.

Cant be 100% positive as dont have phoenix myself.
