av just got Broken Sword: The Angel Of Death and av installed it but when i try and play it comes up with a direct x error.
The above solution should work but if not click start>run> type in dxdiag.exe and press "ok".This will take you to the directx diagnostic utility where you can : check to see if everything is working properly,Run tests,and trouble shoot the problem.
That's great to hear and means it's not your hardware! "how do I update the gfx" Ok it depends on your hardware it's either nvidia or ati.To see which one it is just do :start>control panel>display>maybe advanced button etc Ok now when you find out your gfx card go to the web site (either nvidia or ati)and get your new drivers.
