Hello

I've installed c&c Tiberain Wars on Vista Ultimate system and with
supprise I found that during startup of the game I get message that
the program can not find directx. This is strange for me becouse I'm
sure that directX was installed duing instalation of the game. I go
also to cmd and type "dxdiag" to check version of my directx. When I
started I saw that version od directX is 10.

According to that can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong that I can
not start this game on vista ? :(

ps. I'm using Gygabyte matherboard (GA-965G-DS3 with integrated video
chip (Intex x3000 - with I'm sure should allow me to play in c&c 3)

thank you for any suggestion
regards
Gorgo

I installed C&C3 on my Vista Home Premium system, patched it to 105, and it 
runs fine. Have you tried a reinstall of the game, but, I suspect that your 
problem is that the onboard graphics just can't handle it. Maybe you should 
boot from your Vista DVD and run a repair? You do not list other specs of 
your machine, ie: RAM, CPU. In my system I have a Radeon HD2900, 8GB 800mhz 
RAM, and a lowly E2140 CPU (overclocked to 2.8Ghz), so I reckon it isn't a 
CPU problem. In the "Games" window, what are the required machine specs 
compared to what it says yours are? Have you run the Performance Information 
and Tools utility available through contol panel to determine the ratings? 
Hope this helps.
