    DirectX Error with Vista and BF2 Editor! :(

    well after finaly getting everything squared away with my new windows vista installation, testing bf2 and 2142 on it etc, I then try to load up the bf2 editor with pointofexistence2 mod and it gives me the following error:

    "DirectX version 9.0c or higher is required to run BF2. Please install DX9c and try again."

    then after that it gives me a crash/dump and I'm forced to close the editor...... wth is going on? I ran dxdiag and it clearly says I'm using DX10......

    help!

    i think you also should know that there is a huge security flawin vista so hackers can seize control of your computer and you will never get it back!

        Have you tried forcing Vista to run the Editor in WinXP compatibility mode? That seems to be required for many games from what I've read.

              he guessed..

              Vista is probably more stable than when XP was released. the only part thats letting Vista down is the drivers for all your peripherals
