Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Tech gods! I really need your help. Been installing Command And Conquer 3 on my new HP PAVILLION with Windows 7 since yesterday. Once installed and I attempt to start up, it's throws a DirectX error at me; stating to check if my directx is upto date or my graphics card has the minimum requirement, which it does! Please help me! I will praise you forever. Edit: I've figured it out. Install the game unto the C drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ah see, venturing once again in the general forums pays off, sort off . Installed C&C 3 not long ago, got the same problem. But with an enormous backlog of games (PC and Wii and DS ) to play, I didn't bother to find out what the problem was. I'm unwilling to install it on C however.. Guess I'll just install it under Vista, once I've reinstalled that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Why would you not want to install the game to your C Drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I built my computer a few months ago. The plan was to have a partition of 20-30 GB which only contains Windows, and make partitions for other OS's on the remaining diskspace of that raid volume, which is only around 60 GB total. In the meantime I've learnt Linux, or at least Ubuntu, doesn't like onboard raid, so I have to put my Linux experimentation on hold for now. So for now I've got the full 60 GB at my disposal, but I'd still like to reserve 30 GB for 1 or 2 other OS's in the future. So I don't really have the space to install a game on C. After playing around with my lovely computer for a few months, I really hate finding out plenty software just drops stuff on C without my consent. And I still see software that doesn't give me the option to install it anywhere but on C. I'd like to keep it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Games that only install on C are a bit of a laziness mediated violation of liberty, in my opinion. I mean, I have CNC3 and only a C drive, but it's the principle of the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Fair enough. I suppose having your OS on a small SSD would also have been a valid reason not to want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
