MrAvi Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 This doesn't make any sense. Whenever i try to enter my game, it gives me this error:Error initializing DirectDraw! Make sure you have DirectX 7 or higher installed and a compatible graphics device. Err: -2147024770, Desc: Automation error.Well i have a pretty new pc so whatever he says is nonsense.
