    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    Ok, I tried to run the DirectX 9.0c installer. It scanned my system then gave me this: "DirectX setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. No installation is necessary." I'm not sure if you can't install DX9 with 10.. but dunno, that's what...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    I haven't had the game in a few months. I let a nephew borrow it after several months of struggling to get it to work. So I haven't yet tried with the newest patches. However, even if the newest patch does work for that game, I have two more experiencing the exact same issue, but they are a...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    Just for reasons of showing what I mean, and that I found this much more quickly, I have a link addressing the same issue that occurred with the game's demo, and is happening with the full version for me too. I'll keep looking for the post about the error in the full version, but it's the same...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    As for my pagefile, I have it set to the suggested value, which was just over 6 gigs. I'll look for the exact forum post I found where I first encountered a description for this problem, I do believe it was actually under the settlers' website. That might take me a bit though, but I'll find...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    Ok, I checked both the 32 bit and 64 bit Dxdiag, not sure if that really matters or not, but did just to make sure. There weren't any errors listed on the bottom, and nothing looked wrong to me, but I'm not the most knowledgeable about this kind of thing. There's no way to control how much...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    I got one from Act of War (The others aren't installed atm, but I can install them if the screenshots are needed). I'm 100% sure the error message is generated by the game not windows, because the tag for it is French for "error" and Eugen is a French company (My vista is definitely English...

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    When I get the error it mentions it. I'll try to get a screenshot of at least one of them so I can post it, but all three mention the negative memory in error messages.

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    Sorry, didn't think to list them. I was up all night searching for answers, and wasn't totally with it. The games are Star wars Empire at war: Forces of corruption, Act of War, and The Settlers: Rise of an Empire. I have DX9c up to date and SP1 for Vista. Btw thanks for the welcome.

    Vista x64 2gig+ Graphics headache

    Back when I purchased Vista (x64) Ultimate last year, I was quickly greeted by an error when trying to run one of my older PC games. The error told me that I had negative graphics memory, and refused to allow me to run the program. I started to do a little reading on the issue, and then...
