Join Date Apr 2003 Location Scotland Posts 5,853 Hi, I think this could be a DirectX problem. Have you got the latest version and updates? Go to the Win Updates Site and see if an update comes up for you. It might not be in the Critical List. Also Start/ Run and type in “dxdiag” without the quotes and use the Tabs at the top to test DirectX Also Control Panel / Performance and Maintenance / Admin Tools / Event Viewer / System Look for “Red” errors. Double click and post back the Event ID and the Source. If you think you may have disabled a Service, other than checking them all individually, there is an option in msconfig to reset defaults.

Mame 32 gives me "DirectInputCreate failed! error=80004005" and then after tells me to get directX, which I already have. NESten gives me 'Error : -2147467259 Failed to create Direct Input Object!
