Hi!
I want to play Microsoft Train Simulator on my PC but i cant
i found that it requires a directx8 supported graphics card but i dont think new amd cards do so..

is there any way in the world to run dx8 game on it?

Thanks in Advance
 
Try downloading the following DirectX Redistributable Runtimes from June 2010. Most games require it to be installed. You would think that it should already be part of Windows, but most of the times the world does not make sense.

Also, you should Google around to see if the old game you want to play is compatible with your current Windows version. Some games need a work around to get them up and running while other games are simply not compatible.
