Put this this in tech help also to span the answers...sorry if you read this twice.
So...I got rid of my old PC with the 1300X ATI mess and got a new rig that more than handels SH4. I had the usual issues that I read up on dealing with UAC on VISTA and thought I had it figured out.
After installing the game into the the usual root folder and the new folder outside of Program files (thinking it was a UAC issue), I get an error when I try to start the game: "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_32.dll was not found. Does this have to do with Direct X 9? I didnt install it thinking I didnt need it since I have Direct X 10. Any help out there would be appreciated before I mess up the new rig.....Core 2 Duo e4500 with 3G of RAM and NVIDIA 8300 and VISTA
