After failing an attempt to dual-boot my computer, I did a full restore on it (Win98), and then reinstalled BoA. I got this error on the opening screen: quote:Re-installing the sound drivers didn't help, neither did re-installing Blades. According to my DirectX diagnostic, Direct Sound works find. What version of DirectX is needed for BoA? (it's possible that beforehand I had updated the DirectX from the pre-installed version, I don't remember.) Otherwise, what else could be the cause? (I do know that the sound driver I have in now is the same one as beforehand.) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Version 8 is the minimum I think. Also, for some reason, BoA needs I.E version 5 or above. I found this out after reinstalling Win98SE. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

That would be the problem; the computer comes with version 6. I do have IE5, though. Murky buckets. EDIT: Fixed it.

I'm curious, what were you dual-booting, and how did you muck it up? In my experience, dual-booting is fairly straightforward. -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

I was trying Ubuntu (no particular reason other than the CompSci department had a few copies sitting around). I had installed a second hard drive as a slave beforehand. The first time I tried the 'normal' install, and it got hung up 'setting up the partitioner'. Not wanting to partition my drives, I tried again with the 'expert' install and skipped the partitioner, but it seem that that step also sets up the file system as well (neither GRUB nor LILO wanted to install). I'm not too concerned. It won't be necessary for me to dual-boot for a year or two yet, and by then I hope to change my computer anyway. -------------------- Factory Orders Dip - Headline Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |
