- GENERAL ISSUES
- ______________
-
- Q: When I try to run Desktop Pizazz, I get a message saying that the file
- DPLAYX.DLL cannot be found. Why?
-
- A: The file DPLAYX.DLL is a part of DirectX, and this message means that you
- do not have DirectX installed on your machine. You will need to install
- DirectX on your machine before being able to run Desktop Pizazz. See the
- DirectX section below for more information.
-
-
- Q: When I try to access the online help, I get the error message "Cannot start
- HTML Help!" Why?
-
- A: Desktop Pizazz uses a new help system called HTML Help, developed by
- Microsoft. HTML Help is built into Windows 98, however for Windows 95 and
- NT 4.0 users, you'll need to install HTML Help yourself if you do not have
- Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 already installed. Visit Microsoft's
- HTML Help page at http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/localize.asp
- for more information and downloads.

-
- Q: What is DirectX?
-
- A: DirectX is a set of files (drivers) created by Microsoft that can be installed
- on your computer to allow faster game performance, standardized setup and
- communications procedures, and improved compatibility for many new software titles.
- Many of the latest computer games for Windows 95 require the use of DirectX.
- If you do not have DirectX 5.0 or later installed on your computer, then you
- will need to obtain the latest DirectX drivers and install them.
-
- The latest version of the DirectX drivers can be found on Microsoft's web site at:
- www.microsoft.com/directx
-
- Note: You do not need to download the DirectX SDK. You only need the end-user
- DirectX drivers.
-
-
- Q: Why do I need DirectX?
-
- A: Desktop Pizazz was written to use DirectX, and therefore requires the drivers to be
- installed on your machine. Installing DirectX is a good idea in general, as many
- other new software titles require DirectX as well.
