First, make certain that you installed the “Windows Prerequisites” option during the SpeedEDIT install. If in doubt, uninstall SpeedEDIT and reinstall with the default options selected. If this is not the cause, do the following: 1. On the start menu, go to “Run…” 2. In the “Open:” field, type dxdiag. 3. Look at the information displayed and make certain that “DirectX Version” says DirectX 9.0c or newer. If this reads DirectX 9.0b or lower and you are running Windows XP but you were able to install SpeedEDIT, then Windows XP Service Pack 2 is incorrectly installed. To correct an incorrectly installed service pack: 1. Go here to download Service Pack 2 for Windows XP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx 2. Install Service Pack 2 and reboot when asked. 3. Uninstall SpeedEDIT. 4. Reinstall SpeedEDIT, making certain that the “Windows Prerequisites” option is selected.
