ok so are you may know and if you DONT, i recently built a new computer, that Dual boots windows XP 64bit and WIndows 7 Ultimate. I enjoy playing SAMP(san andreas multiplayer) and i used to use the speedo mod from this link. However when i try to execute the game it tells me i need at least directx version 9. I have it installed! http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=73
If you notice on the comments im not the only one with this issue, and if ANYONE has found a solution let me know. I used to run it perfectly on my pentium 4 however it wouldnt work when i turned on HT. gave same error. Is it cause i have 8 cores?

my system
AMD FX8120 8 cores at 3.1Ghz
8GB RAM
1TB hard drive
1gb MSI R6870 hawk graphics. Good evening comda and welcome back to CH

      From what you are saying it use to run under XP but once you enabled HT on the CPU it won't work? Have you tried XP Compatibility mode. Also up on there site you can try the other version of the mod that they have "PROXY DLL VERSION:" because the direct x one has had issues.

      The direct X 9c you installed is it off of the game disc or did you DOWNLOAD it from MS. If you did off of the disc maybe it didn't install correctly. Here is the whole directx 9c from MS http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14546 or maybe there is a update to the mod you are using.

Hope this HELPS, Mike well that version doesnt work either. all the other cleo speedometers crash when i SPAWN a car in SAMp or /park my car in NG-RP. I found this speedo that doesnt use cleo but have NO idea how to install it. Its a program in C++ how to install that any idea?
