As I would suspect, things would install and work fine on others computers. The
things s that it crashes. I have the latest direct X too. And I now have 6.1
which it comes with. I had no option to not install it. But I am sure that is

fact that I cannot on some. I get mainly DLL errors. Who knows maybe a VIRUS
