Hello.
My computer refused to run Half-Life Episode Two on the account that it
hadn’t DirectX 9.0c installed. OS is WinXP Eng SP2 (incl. all updates) and
when I started dxdiag it showed 9.0c was actually installed. I downloaded
newer (then August 9.0c) version and deinstalled current DirectX using
DirectX Remover. Then restarted PC but when I tried to install new 9.0c it
didn’t let me do it. The log says "GetDXVersion() Failed".
I tried to find registry keys and I found this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX - "Version". What value I
should set in order to make it installed. I know I did the action one
shouldn’t do, but this is strange that DirectX just can’t recover itself by
new install. Video-card is nVidia GeForce4 MX 440. If it doesn’t support 9.0c
so how can I install earlier version of DirectX? Again what values should I
set in registry? Please, I call for your suggestions (hope I don’t have to
reinstall OS).
