Westislander Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks very much for the tip on Directx happy uninstall. Worked like a charm.I did a search for DDraw.DLL before the uninstall & in Windows\system I had version DDraw version6, but had version 9.o in Windows\vcm. After removal & reinstall they are both at version 9. The FinePixViewer works. & as a big Bonus WMP 9 is now working again. Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erpdude8 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) DirectX 4?DirectX 4 does not exists. Version 4.09.00.0904 is DirectX 9c.google DirectX Happy UninstallMicrosoft never released DirectX 4, Tihiy.LLXX needs to seriously read ComputerHope's DirectX Help page on the version numbers of DirectX (so that she'll be well educated about this):http://www.computerhope.com/directx.htmapparently, Westislander, you had the wrong version of DDRAW.DLL file when you should have be using the one from DirectX 9.0c. somehow the DDRAW.DLL file was overwritten with an older version. good thing you removed DirectX and re-installed DirectX 9.0c to fix the problem.DirectX Eradicator 2.0 would also do the trick AND it's freeware. DirectX Happy Uninstall is shareware. Edited January 31, 2007 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
