why it does not run on windows XP?

[AngeloRox]

i tried to install the game on an old pc which is running 32bit winXP, but when i launch the game it says to me that it can't find entry point direct3Dcreate9Ex in d3d9.dll....can someone help me? i already reinstalled video driver and formatted the entire disk.

Hmm, not sure if Win XP supports this game but I can tell you that msg is about directx.

Which suggest you missing something.

but i reinstalled full OS, nvidia driver ( this pc has a 8800gt) and directx from microsoft

Try to look for directx setup where game is installed inside _CommonRedist and run it.

Probably because it's not supported. Min req. is Windows 7. XP is seriously old, man. Also, your video card is below minimum reqs too. Wouldn't be surprised if your other hardware isn't up to spec either.

the hardware is old, it's true but i think that is a software problem, besides, i replaced d3d9.dll file with another updated and the error when i start the game has changed XD

If I am reading this right then I have to warn you, don't EVER replace dll manually that are from stuff like directx or visual studio c++ redist.

You can create a whole different universe of problems and what is worse you won't even know what you did and end up formating your PC.

[didymos1120]

Well, all I can tell you is that you're below the minimum specs, so it probably won't work. Good luck though.

i can replace the original file, it was just for trying something, anyway, in the minimum requirements there is directx 9.0c so i am pretty sure that this pc can run this game...i don't know what to think.
it's just a secondary pc, so i can play it on my main, but still, i would solve this problem XD

Well, besides telling that msg is refering to directx and advising you to run setup bundles with game in that folder I mentioned earlier I have no other ideas.

You haven't told us what hardware you are actually trying to get the game to run on. An "old pc" tell us very little indeed. Have you ensured you are using XP service pack 3 as well?

I have to say, it can be fun to try and get a game running on a machine it really should not be running on. I might dig out an old xp machine (over 10 years old now) and try and get the game running on that.

like i said, it's just a secondary pc, i tried to run bayonetta on this machine just for fun :)

DX9 may support Windows XP, just some technologies in plenty of nowadays' DX9 games may not work on XP, kinda like Sonic Mania.

EDIT: Oh yeah! On another note, you have a 32-bit OS, and Bayo needs 4GB RAM, so wouldn't a 64-bit OS have been better?
