Direct x for windows 7

I am running windows 7 32bit, direct X 11 with my ATI radeon 5770 and I am playing Wizardry 8, which is a direct X 7 game (also runs direct x 6 and open gl). But I did have to install direct x 9c update to run some of the other games I own (L4D and L4D2 require direct x 9) so is it because of DX9 that I can play older game, not 100% sure, but I would say that the game in question is playable in windows XP, VISTA is very picky with games that age and Windows 7 will play the games VISTA doesn't. I have somewhat tested this theory by testing a couple of games on a VISTA PC and a windows 7 PC. Now both systems are different so can't confirm possible hardware issues with these games, but they are games for Windows XP. The games run on the Windows 7 machine but not the VISTA machine, even in compatibility mode. So is the issue Windows, the PC, or another factor. I say try compatibility mode, and if you have a friend with a PC and VISTA or Windows 7, have them try run the game.

Vista might have an issue but you might also being using a very generic on board video card with no hard ware acceleration.DOSBox is great and I use it for old DOS games but I don't think it will help you in this situation.Post your video card specs.

Game in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode, or possibly Windows 98 compatibility mode and see if it launches. If we are talking really old, as in DOS era, you are going to need DOSBox, an emulator program that creates a DOS environment that can run the old 16 bit DOS applications that can no longer be run on Windows. You can find it at www.dosbox.com Yea well i went on my graphics card site wich is NVIDEA and they told me to run in comptability thing like you saiy but therz a new error that pops out form microsoft saying Ht2 has stopped functioning, oh and yep i think i need dos thing becaus everything i try to open in the file like a patch and stuff its says error please be sure if you have this file in 60bit or the other bit thing, Mar 23, 2011 201 2 18,685 #7 Jaquar, I don't know if that is to true, I am running windows 7 32bit, direct X 11 with my ATI radeon 5770 and I am playing Wizardry 8, which is a direct X 7 game (also runs direct x 6 and open gl).
