DirectX 8.1 or above is properly installed on my computer and the game refuses to launch, complaining about a critical initialization failure. What could be the problem?

It is possible that your sound and/or video is not compatible with DirectX 8.1. Try to activate DirectX 7 compatbility mode this way: 1. Insert the Mia Disk 1 in yout computer. The CD-ROM startup window appears on the screen.

2. Click on the Options button in the window. 3.

Check the DirectX Safe-Mode option by clicking on the empty circle. This activates DirectX 7 compatibility. You will not need to repeat these steps in the future.

4. Click on the Play button. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
