Hi, I'm trying to install "Need for speed-Most Wanted". It will instal on my vista laptop no problem but my laptops video card sucks and it lags horibly. I have a nice desktop (specs below) but when i try to insall NFS it says I must have DX 0.0 or above and that i should dload the newest vertion from microsoft. I typed in dxdiag and on both computers and both have dx 10. Any idea why it thinks dx is not installed on my desktop. When i try to reinstall dx from microsoft it says i already have a newer vertiona nd no changes have been made.

Thanks,
Cody

Re-install DX10(from http://softwarepatch.com ), and update your video drivers. If that doesnt work try it to dual boot XP and dont run it on Vista.

Not much else to say about it.
