DirectX games crash to desktop with dinput8 error
When running certain games
For example: F.E.A.R, Vice City, Need For Speed : Carbon.
My Computer crashes to the desktop with something like this:
AppName: fear.exe AppVer: 1.8.282.0 ModName: dinput8.dll
ModVer: 5.3.2600.2180 Offset: 00016324
Now i have a dual boot of Windows MCE and Windows XP SP2
on my SP2 these games will crash to the desktop
but in MCE they will not
i have replaced the dinput8.dll in my SP2 partition with the one from MCE with no difference in games, BUT... my dxdiag does not crash on direct input anymore...
I am really baffled at what the cause of this could be
is there any way to roll back direct x to previous versions and work from there for a solution?
Hoping someone has an answer for me! Thank you so much.
Oh yea.. and if i put Vice City on Windows 98 Compatability it will run fine, but the others will not
Thank you again
