| | Directx 8.0a object error Hi Guys All I'm trying to do is install a cd-rom for my daughter on vista basic. It gets to 100% then the above error pops up-so no cd-rom installed. Any ideas? I've been to the appropriate website and installed all Directx updates etc but still no joy. Thanks Gazza |

| | Re: Directx 8.0a object error Click start, and type DXDIAG This will report the DirectX software info. DirectX 10 is part of Vista. I'm not sure what that CD Rom is trying to install, but it isn't what vista needs. You need to find a better method of installing the drive. You might try running the CD drive with the Vista provided drivers instead of whatever you are using. Click start, and type: DEVMGMT.MSC Open the CD drive Properties, and use the Driver tab to "Update Driver" -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
