It seems that your DirectX has some problems. I suggest that you'll completely remove DirectX and then do a 'clean' install.

If this doesn't work, try updating your Video Drivers (first do 'driver clean' with a "Driver-Cleaning" Program and then re-install).

GOOD LUCK.

erm how to remove directx and where to get the setup for the direct x?

Oops, my mistake

It seems that you CAN'T uninstall DirectX 9 once it was installed, because after installation it becomes part of your operating system. But, try to download DirectX 9.0C from Microsoft Site (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dir...ctx/downloads/) and just re-install. Maybe it will help.

Let's just move a step back, does this happens only when u play onimusha 3 or does this happens on evey 3D game u throw at it?

Eldanor · 14th Dec 2005, 07:30 PM

just onimusha 3 , no other problems on other games ,even nfsmw

jamotto · 14th Dec 2005, 07:50 PM

Perhaps this is a known issue with the game?

You may NOT need to reformat.

What you CAN do is install ANOTHER instance of Windows XP. Install it into a separate partition of your hard drive so it won't be confusing and you can dual-boot into either one.
