DFX2 Game Not Running
This morning I started DFX2 so I could work on some maps. This is what I got
"Delta Force: Xtreme 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Fortunately this was on one of the computers I host with.
There was an option to view technical information about the error report that I submitted to Microsoft. The report showed a lot of info I don't understand and was unable to copy. However, I was able to copy this. The section header for this was "The following files will be included in the error report."
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\737f_appcompat.txt
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game plus DFX a couple of times and get the same thing plus I've done System Restores to 3 different dates . . . no good.
Everything runs but the games.
Any Ideas??

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
Did you try running the game from c:\ and not from the program files folder?

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
This computer/server has WinXP Pro on it. I tried running it from Drive C anyway and got the same thing.
Could there be a problem with DirectX?

Bubba,
If you want to check the DirectX installation click on Start \ Run and type in “dxdiag” and click OK.
A full report will come up indicating any missing or corrupt files. If you need the reinstall package go to the following Microsoft link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=8109

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
This showed up when I first started dxdiag.
"Microsoft DirectX Diagnostic Tool has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I got rid of it and started dxdiag again. It went thru all the tabs and each one showed no problems.

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
Weird. This is something I would have to look at.

I did 2 system restores to 2 separate dates and it didn't help.

reformat
If you need a copy of XP Pro that does not require a key, let me know

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
This computer is an old WinXP Pro business machine that I converted to a server years ago. I recently purchased a new wireless headset (Corsair VOID) and hooked it up to this computer. It worked OK for a while then the DFX2 game quit loading. After a lot of trial and error and some help from huntor (who mentioned that it could be a sound problem) I disconnected the wireless headset and hooked up some speakers. WA-LA - WE HAVE GAME!!!
Thank you for your suggestions!!

Re: DFX2 Game Not Running
That was just dumb luck! Normally the DFX2 screen will show you what is missing in order to play the game. This was just starting up and shutting down with no error. Glad it is working again.
