New dell computer: B110.

I installed game, however, it will not start. I get the following message:
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault requires a video card that fully supports
DirectX 8.1. This video card in this system does not fully support DirectX
8.1.

I checked my DirectX version on the computer and it DirectX 9.0c. Aren't
they compatible?

Hi JM,

The error message is complaining about your video card not being
DX8.1 compliant. What type of video card do you have installed?

Here are a few ways to identify which video card you have
installed on your computer.

1. Click Start / Run / type: dxdiag
Click the Display Tab
Look under Device for the name and manufacturer

2. Click Start / (Settings) Control Panel
Click Display
Click the Settings Tab
Click the Advanced... button
Click the Adapter Tab

3. Click Start / Run / type: msinfo32
Click on the + Components
Click on Display to see the name on the right

4. Use Belarc to see indentify your Video, Chipset and Motherboard:

5. Get the information from the manufactures website (or store)
