This is the only one I have, and I only get like 7 activations. I can see in the dxdiag report that in the tab where it shows you the list of DirectXfiles it doesnt show a d3dx9_38.dll file? Could it be that the game is not installing this .dll file? Can I download it somewhere?

Unfortunely this is the only one I have. I have a piece of &^%$& CPU, with 512 Ram no internet connection, viruses, a humming CPU case, no audio, and a 19" CRT screen... Iv'Been really thinking of buying a new HP Laptop since this Black Shark fiasco started. I will leave now.. very sad by the way 'cause I wont be playing Black Shark this weekend.

DVD... cool packing by the way,, it took me like ten minutes to open it becasue I was afraid to mess up the box and cover, and it had like a meter of tape on it. At first I let it install the game on the default folder C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\K50, later in another thread I read that It might be a good idea to place it directly under C: so I installed it on C:\Eagle Dynamics\K50, just in case but it didn't work, I tried installing it as C:\K50.. same story.. :(

I tried installling 185.85 form Nvidia...I unistalled first all old drivers from Nvidia from the control panel and from the device manager (not sure what's the difference between this removals) and cleaned all left overs with a program called Nvidia Nasty Files removal according to this thread http://www.overclock.net/faqs/12466-info-nvidia-driver-cleaning-guide.html. I cleaned left overs for drivers 156.83 and original drivers 83.13 I got a Message from the setup wizard "The Nvidia Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit" So installing the 185.85 doesn't work.. unless there is some other way. I am stuck with drivers 156.83 unless someone knows another Dell Precision M65, XP SP3 with a Quadro FX 350M drivers compatible. This is the dxdiag. that I saved with the 156.83 drivers installed: can put it on one sinlge reply so I will put it separatly. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 5/15/2009, 12:02:03 Machine name: xxxxx Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.090206-1234) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

Thanks Fudd,, I tried removing all left overs of Nvidai drivers with Nvidia Nasty driver removal that I found on http://www.overclock.net/faqs/12466-info-nvidia-driver-cleaning-guide.html, I folowed up their steps and tried to tried to get rid of version 8.3.1.3, and installed the version 156.83 (6.14.11.5683) over what i thought was a clean Nvidia driver installation, but It didnt work. Same error same message. I will download 185.85 try it out and save the dialog for you guys. Thanks.

Yes Tez, but only when I installed the first drivers updates that I found ver. 156.19, I will try removing everything related to drivers now, and reinstall BS, I only did it with the Windows Add/Remove Program feature,.. Do you think I should get a Driver Cleaner remover program or something? can you recommend me one, free of course. :)

I feel like I am wirting to my self. Even thought I install the game on C:\Eagle Dynamics\K50C the installation program still makes an empty folder on C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics. I tried installing Nvidia Drivers version 156.19 just to see if they work... Doesn't work. Does someone exactly which drivers should I have installed?

Thanks yehuda.. Just installed drivers update that I found on DELL with my Service Tag for Nvidia Quadro FX 350M, drivers version 156.83-XP WHQL A05 whatever that means.. and unfortunely it didn't work... same two errors after unistalling it and installing it again for the 13th time now. I installed it on C:\Eagle Dynamics\K50, ;cause maybe it had something to do with the route the game installed, I checked my registry but could'nt find anything related to K50 or DCS just Lock On, updated drivers for my BIOS Motherboeard as well.. just in case it had something to do with that. So, I am pretty much screwed...just getting the idea on my head that my DCS Black Shark is not going to work at least in this laptop, I would uninstall XP and make a big deal but I can't do that. Please Help, what can I do?

I tried that and got this mesage from Nvidia, so I am trying to see if DELL can assit me on getting the drivers for my Nvidia Quadro FX 350 laptop. Do you have a better idea? Thanks for your help. In any case if I do get the drivers updated, I should jjust reinstall my game and it will work? or is there something else.? Product Current Installed Driver 83.13 Latest Driver Update NVIDIA Quadro FX 350M83.13The manufacturer of this system requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site. The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's

Reinstalling the game under C:\DCS ED\Ka-50 didn't work... same errors. My registry shows info Eagle Dinamics but only Lock On 1.1 and Lock On 1.1 Flaming Cliffs registries are shown... nothing form K-50, DCS etc. :(

I have the exact same problem,, Could you fix it Bradover?? I wil try to do what Viper suggests,,, how do I delete my registry from all ED entries? I am not that good with and don't wanna mess something up in XP. This is my post... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=41470 [url=http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=41470][/url]

Hello I need some Help,, fresh from the box I installed my Black Shark,, everything good until I tried to lunch it, I got this errors: "Black Shark: Launcher.exe Unable to locate component This application has failed to start becasue d3dx9_38.cll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem" Error Error loading module 'edTerrain' form file 'C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll' The specified module could not be found I checked the file 'edterrain.dll' that is suposed to be missing and is in there so I dont understand.. Any ideas? I already tried reinstalling it like 4 times,, no luck My specs Intel Core 2CPU T7200 2 GB Ram Quadro FX 350, 512 MB ------------------------------- 15:54 pm Just tried uninstalling BS and installing it again for the 7th time now... still no luck. same error ... same message... Now I am depressed I wanted to play tonight... :( ------------------------------------------ I was investigating about this error, it seems to be somethin related to Direct X... I install the one that came in the game even.. I guess is the latest one and the one that the game need, Direct X 10.. I found out that the erro is commonly related to a file called d3dx9_38.dll but the error I get is d3dx9_38.cll (CLL).. Dont understand what I am wirting about.. please help

That happens whit the Training tracks? right? , they are describing something entirely different in the text like, suddenly you get downed by a plane that was suposed to be killed 1 min before.

Do I have to have an Internet connection every time I lunch the game? Or want to play? What happens If I don’t have internet all the time? Can I still play?

It worked!!, dont know what I was filling in wrong. Thanks TEZ. Now, If you could tell me how this is going to work exactly 10 installations and that is it right? on my laptop and in my other computer or just in one computer? ???

But how can I know exactly where?... since I live in central America I gues that my billing post code should be 000. Do you know if the adress has to be typed in a certain way? I am adding the adress to where my credit card is registered to. I dont see where else I can be wrong anyway I will try some other store if it doesnt work.

Hello can anyone help me, I cannot find my activation key for FC and I want to play again. I tried to purchase another downloadable but couldnt pay, I have the game I just need an activation key but the transaction is just not working, I tried to write to the webmaster and to activation@lockon.ru but I am not even sure that they are paying any attention to FC this days,, What can I do.

Hope this is not true. I just bought DCS BS over the internet and I expect to have it installed next week. I am from a Central American country where this kind of games simply dont exist. If I have problems, then I am screwed.
