DirectX problem

krishna · 14th June 2000, 15:44

Hi,
My winamp was playing well till a couple of days back. Now if I press the play button, it says "DirectX 5+ Not Found".Iam working on a NT 4.0 machine. I had DirectX 6 on my machine. I tried reinstalling DirectX 6. But the problem continues to occur. Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem.

Regards,
Krishna

Ok, i never knew that NT supported directx 4+.... i think that you just installed somthing that is incompatible with your system (directx)

"The only Windows NT 4.0 supported DirectX is DirectX 3.0a." directly from m$.

I think Internet Expolrer 4+ installs DX 6+.
I use W2k with IE 5.0, there runs all O.K.

Hi Krishna

Have you mistakenly selected Direct Sound as the Output Plug-in ?

If so, then goto "Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Output" and re-select Nullsoft Wave-Out [simply by single clicking on it].

This is assuming that you're only experiencing audio problems and not visual related ones ?!?!

Hare Krishna !!!!
