Hello ed,
It is a common error message on Windows10.
When you have a Direct X error message, then you first have to do method 1 or method 2, desscribed a bit lower about the Direct X error.
After that you also have to do the: Automatically Change Compatibility Mode Settings for App in Program Compatibility Troubleshooter.
But as i said you first have to do Method 1 or Method 2 ( described a bit lower ) to get rid of the DirectX error message.
( The steps below are for TW08, but should also work for TW07 )
For all users,Follow steps below:
On desktop you should have TW08 program icon.
This is how you can get the TW08 icon on your desktop:
Go to the bin folder in TW08, see path below:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\bin
Now inside the bin folder right click the TW08.exe icon, and in list choose: Copy to...and choose: Desktop
Now you will have the Tw08 icon on your desktop.
Now you will have to run TW08 in compatibility mode, see help below.
Automatically Change Compatibility Mode Settings for App in Program Compatibility Troubleshooter:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right click on TW08 icon on desktop, and click/tap on: Troubleshoot compatibility
Click/tap: Continue
Then click second option: Continue troubleshoot program
Now choose option on top: Try recommended settings
And click: Test program
Now TW08 should start, when it started close TW08 again
Now click: Next......and choose the option on top: Save the settings for this program
After that TW08 should work.
Important note: When you do the compatibility thing, it is possible your system will say it will not work in compatibility mode or TW08 will not start, but just finish the steps above and restart your PC and it should work !!!!
You can try this when you have message: Direct X is reporting there is not enough memory:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 methods, you have to choose 1 method.
Method1: ( by JoSummer )
--------
You can get around this problem by limiting the system RAM. To do so ..
1. press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type msconfig, and click/tap on OK.
2. under the Boot tab in System Configuration, click on the Advanced options button
3. check the Maximum memory box and set the value to 4095, hit ok and reboot the system when asked.
You shouldn''''''''t have any disadvantages by doing so, because there''''''''s only a few applications or games that are actually addressing (benefit from) more than 4GB system RAM.
Method 2: ( by CutesyButton )
---------
I do have another workaround however, where you don''''''''t have to restrict RAM so I''''''''l put it here as another option.
Step One:-
Go to http://dege.freeweb.hu/ and download the latest version of DG Voodoo.
Step Two:-
Extract the DGVoodoo Setup program and DDraw.dll and D3Dlmm.dll files into the bin directory of your Tiger Woods 08 install.
Step Three:-
Run the DgVoodoo setup program.
Step Four:-
Head to the directX tab and uncheck "Disable and passthru to real DirectX".
Step Five:-
In the VRAM drop box, type a reasonable value like 520000 KB (note the space between the number and KB) - while it is a drop down box with 3 values, it accepts typed ones as well.
Note- The resolution changes didn''''''''t work for me here, so I had to use the universal widescreen program (from widescreengaming) and the Tiger 2004 (Custom Menu) res patch to get 1920x1080.
Step Six:-
Run the game, and hey presto. Can confirm this works for Tiger 07 as well.
My Setup:- FX8350/Radeon HD7950 3GB/16GB Memory
When you are using CLsetup07 to install courses:
------------------------------------------------
Right click CLsetup07 icon....choose properties....on top choose: Compatibility....and on bottom check box: Run as administrator...and hit: Apply |
