DirectX 5.0 Init Failure
I have attempted to load DX 5.0 many times both from internet downloaded file and off the MS Flight Sim 98 CD with the same result. I get a DirectX Setup Initialization Failed followed by a DirectX setup error -9. I have a Sony PCV-90 with an ATI 3D Rage graphics card. I have DX 3.0 loaded but FS98 needs DX 5.0.

What the heck is that device? I dont even have it in my system?

It is a Modem Line Wave Device. I have seen a few people in the newsgroups with the same device. It also seems like they have DX 5.0 installed already, though i still get the -9 error when I try to run dxsetup. Is there a manual way to setup DirectX?
I havent seen a manual HOWTO to get it running. I think it is time to start contacting tech-support for either your hardware or MS.

Thanks for all your help. You have given me some real good information. If I find a solution I will let you know what happened and how to fix it. That way we both become better "experts".
