    hey everyone

    I just got my new NP5793 today and couldn't be happier! I can run crysis very smoothly now but i do have one problem... After i had installed C&C 3 and then continued to open it it came up with a Directx Error...

    Any answers to my error?

    ^^ go to the directx website and download the directx 9.0c components that are missing from vista.

    Make sure C&C3 is patched to the latest version. I've heard that the earlier unpatched versions wouldn't run on vista 64 bit.
