OK, I found the solution to my own problem here:
http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=14063
I downloaded "d3dx10_33.dll" from here:
http://www.m3fe.com/files/d3dx10_33.zip , and unzipped it into the
Windows\ SysWOW64 folder (vista64), and hey it works! well, at least it
did for me.
If you get an error msg about file "xinput1_3.dll" missing instead, or as
well, its here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl...html?xinput1_3
Now I'm thinking an amd64 x2 4600 is not enough.
Good luck with it!!
