I'd love to say that I enjoyed playing the game, but I can't...yet. I can't install the game. Prior to installation I get a pop-up which states that I do not have the proper version of Direct X to proceed. I am told I need DirectX 9.0C which I already have installed on my PC. After this my only other option is to shut down the installation process. I do have the corrct version of DirectX. I have Windows XP Professional installed, and I easily surpass the hardware requirements.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Michael

Microsoft updates directx 9.0c every 2 months - the game requires a fairly recent version of directx to run.
To avoid headaches, here's a link to a recent version: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

Thanks
I didn't realize that there were different versions of Directx 9.0c I will try the link and give it a go later on today. Again thank you.

I have not had the directx problems (I downloaded the update from microsoft). My problem is the graphics. I have installed conquest on 2 pc units. On the off-line pc I have difficulty with 3 screens - the opening one with the slitherine logo on it: the problem is that the writing at the bottom is blurred to the point of being unreadable; the screen following the opening screen that allows you to pick single player, tutorial etc is pixellated and the tutorial screen is just a jumbled mess of words and split pictures. On my on-line pc it works fine. The only difference between my 2 pcs is the processor: the off-line is a P4 2.4ghz and the on-line is a Centrino 1.8ghz.. They both have 128mb graphic cards. Do you think its driver related or cell shaded?
