I.Am.Canadian Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi, I have a huge problem. I just installed DirectX 9.0 from Microsoft's website on my dad's company laptop. Now it won't start up! They are going to give him a hard time when he brings it in to get fixed. I tried everything imaginable (safemode, command prompt, recovery console), but I can't get Widows to start up! Please help me!!!!! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Canadian Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Do you have a boot/rescue disc?I don't right now, and thanks for making me feel better jamcadbury! I'm trying frantically to find a solution. I'm looking at Microsoft support, and Googling a ton! This is horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a guy with a similar problem over at the techspot.com boards. Link What card is in the laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
