unfortunatly you only have 1 of 2 choices right now. Wait for silkroad to
update thier dirctx base, or install windows xp. Drivers and code
implementation prior to vista in regards to directx has always been a bit
shakey, and has been a major contributor to the crashes that most machines
have. With the new device model, that microsoft is trying to implement with
vista, This should be rectified. Unfortunatly, this means that a number of
devices and programs will have trouble, or not work at all due to thier
implementation of directx 9. This, as well as stability, suport, and hardware
compatability is why microsoft did not want people using this as their
production <primary> machine.

Prior to install, try right clicking on Setup -> then select properties.
Under the compatibility tab check the Win XP compatibility box and the "run
as administrator" box? Then try to install the game as the administrator.

I hope this helps.

It replaces the silkroad.exe with one that doesn't validate directx. Worked
perfectly for me!!!
