How do I solve this error????


Error: Environment Initialization Failed!
Check your DirectX setup

Any help would be appreciated.

It would be kind of nice to have, y'know, context. Just sayin'. It's kind of considered courtesy to explain your specs, what you were doing when you got the message, what you were trying to do, etc. You just gave us the equivalent of "Help, the thing is making noise, what do I do?!"

What game were you trying to run?

No specs, no checks.


This is akin to going to your doctor and telling them that something hurts, but refusing to provide useful data further than that. The doctor will send you home.

^I would charge him for a full set of blood+urine test, and a physical exam (including a prostate exam) and send him home with some sugar pills ;)

should get it working. welcome to the gog forums, remember to reppy direspirefirewire, and mind the gap.

I would not worry unless it goes Uhh Eeh Uh Ah Ah Ting Tank Walla Walla Bing Bang. Then it's bad. Really bad.

It could be you are trying to run a windows game in aquarium. Environment error - too much fish.
