Graphics problems...

Post by EJMM »

Ok I have a radeon 9600, and yesterday downloaded the last catalyst driver update ( the 7.11), ok installed it and everything fine, but then I reinstalled all of my games, and it says:

"generic application error. enable debug output for detailed infomation, switching to the reference resterizer",
and then when I click accept, it shows:

" Warning: nothing will be rendered, the reference rendering was selected, but your pc has only reduced functionality reference device installed. Install directX SDK to get the full reference device"

so what's that directx sdk??, where can I find it?

Rollback (or update) your drivers. You're not going to be able to do anything useful for this problem with the directX
sdk - that's for developing your own applications.
