Spooge Driver...

    Just got my Vostro 1500 in the post yesterday and having a slight problem with it.
    Everytime I try to open DOW: Dark Crusade I'm getting the following error:
    'Spooge Driver not found. Verify that DirectX is properly installed.'

    Now I've tried downloading DirectX and still no luck.
    Any Ideas?

    Is it running Vista? I had the same problem just yesterday and I just searched for the latest directx10. That seemed to work for me. Make sure to install the 2 patches for Dark Crusade also after installing the latest directx 10.

    Hope that works.

    Still not working. Have DirectX 10 and still getting the spooge driver error.

    256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600M GT
    Those are my card specs so I didnt really think there should be a problem with the driver...

    Usually means you need newer drivers/latest version DirectX.

    anyway, don't play Dark Crusade. Play Winter Assault. We really need more players on there...:D

    Thats the thing though. I've installed DirectX10.
    And I've tried installing a newer driver from the NVidia website but Im getting this error:
    'The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit.'

    You need a modded inf file to install those on your laptop.
