Persistent DirectX Errors

[xirtamehtsitahw]

I don't even have a video card to speak of. My laptop only runs on an integrated graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics, I believe).

But...don't tell me that I actually need a video card, as I actually got PPSSPP to run when I still had Windows 7 on this machine.


And as for installing DirectX 9, I've tried that twice already, with no sign of it ever having actually installed.

EDIT: Just installed Directx 9 AGAIN, and the emulator STILL throws those aggravating errors.

Is it possible the emulator is set to look for the DirectX 9 files in the wrong place? (as in, look for them where they would be in Vista or Windows 7, rather than where they are in Windows XP)?

If all else fails, I may have to simply buy an external CD/DVD drive (my internal one crapped out on me), and install Windows 7 again, just to force this recalcitrant emulator to work.
