I've looked through topics, and noticed that several other people had the same question way back. I however, had trouble in figuring out how to fix it for myself. When I try to run Need for Speed, it shows up an error message : You have DirectX 0. Please install DirectX 7. Could not load ".\drivers\registryz" [FILE=\real\patch3\pc\set3d.c, LINE=273] I can't find where to install DirectX 7, and I DID install the latest one the DirectX9 lately, however it STILL says that I have DirectX0 and need DirectX7 any help would be appreciated. It used to work all the time, I don't understand why it stopped, thanks in advance to anyone that trys to help.

Aww, you're so awesome! Thank you, I'm going to go try it out right now and let you know if it works. Thanks for helping!

Alright, thank you so much.

Lol, but where DO you install DirectX7, I spent like an hour searching on google, and did not find anything. It all said you need 98 to install it, I believe and/or, you should get the newer version ; Directx9 anyways, thank you. I'll go uninstall it right now. (the un-installer did NOT work) :\

First, I wanna say thank you for everyones replys. Anywho, yeah. I'm running the original one, and I'm running it on my XP, it used to work, like 5 months ago, and then right now, I don't know, I got the urge to play it again, so I put it in, and that message came up. I looked EVERYWHERE for DirectX7, no sites had it to download, then I finally saw Directx7.a I downloaded it, it still said that I had DirectX0 and need Directx7, so then I went and downloaded DIrectX9, and the same message pops up. It still says I only have DirectX0, and I just don't understand why.
