Ok ... its like this :

Got new pc game to play and my pc meets ALL the system requirements. It comes with direct.x 9 and so i installed it , as you do.

Anyway, to cut a long story short.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO OPEN THE GAME IT SAYS : There was an error starting direct.x

I went through the whole trouble shooting and testing sound, 3d wotsit, etc. ALL IN WORKING ORDER.

I checked in the actual DIRECT.X folder and it says :

CAN NOT FIND : commctrl.dll AND cmpagent.exe

so , i googled for them to try and install , missing components , if thats what they are. I unzipped into system folder but still it wont work.

ANYONE ? Or is it a case of TOUGH SHI* try and return the game tomorrow and wait till it comes out on PS2 ?

Have you tried downloading Direct x from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

perhaps the version in the game is corrupted,

just a thought

I hadnt done that chris, but i just tried it and thought yay its working cus it restarted my pc and the direct x instilation on the disc didnt do that. BUT NO. Just tried again.

I have been putting off playing the game till late tonight so i could relax and enjoy it, been waiting soooo long for new broken sword to come out. Looks like ill be waiting a while longer.


Thank you anyway xx for trying

are you sure PC requirements are met ... I came across this a few times .... the graphics card was not right 'rolls eyes'
is it the Angel of Death one ... that needs a 128mb graphics card .... maybe try upgrading the graphics drivers

See if there is a forum on the website for the game. Usually you'll find that other people have had the same problem and you may find your solution there.

I think your right dee.
I have checked ( for the 1st time ever ) and it seems it is the graphics wotsit. lol


Under ADAPTER it says :
: Intel r extreme graphics controler 64mb ...

Is that it ? Does that mean i have to buy a 128 mb one of those ?

commctrl.dll AND cmpagent.exe will most probably need to be in the C:\Windows\System folder (where the "Windows" is the folder where windows is installed.

According to searches cmpagent.exe is a compression tool which belongs to drivespace.

There is a link to info here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q136837/

Which Operating System and Game is it?
