Yeah, i am gettin the failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer error. for half life 2, and regular half life only.


i've been playing all the games since 05' and i've NEVER had this since earlyer today. and the funny thing is..i was actually playing half life 2 when it froze and i ctrl alt deleted and went to restart it and it gave me that shit..

Alright, i've spent numerous hours all day today figuring this out. I believe i have found the problem. I just don't know how to fix it.

I ran some ATI test stuff and it sais i don't have DirectX installed correctly.

How do i install it correctly?
