DirectX 9.0c Network problem

Hello folks.

When using MS FlightSim online, I am unable to communicate with ATC and other pilots.

I can receive them OK but my transmissions are heavily distorted and slowed.

I have tracked this down to a problem in DirectX.

Under the Network tab of DxDiag, I get the following error messages:-

----------------------------
DirectPlay Service Providers
----------------------------
DirectPlay8 Modem Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.0000.0900)
DirectPlay8 Serial Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.0000.0900)
DirectPlay8 IPX Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.0000.0900)
DirectPlay8 TCP/IP Service Provider - Registry: OK, File: dpnet.dll (5.03.0000.0900)
Internet TCP/IP Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: Error, File: ()
IPX Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: Error, File: ()
Modem Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: Error, File: ()
Serial Connection For DirectPlay - Registry: Error, File: ()
DirectPlay Voice Wizard Tests: Full Duplex: Not run, Half Duplex: Not run, Mic: Not run
DirectPlay Test Result: Not run
Registry: OK

Not sure exactly what it is telling me, nor do I know how to go about sorting it out.

I don't know if it is relevant or not but, as it mentions TCP/IP, this is the DxDiag Adapters report:-

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Much as I appreciate all the help I had from Plodr with DirectX registry problems, I take it that no-one here can help me with this one.

But if anyone can suggestion a forum that might be able to help me I would be most grateful.

 

Still getting nowhere with this problem.

Would some kind person with Win2000 SP4 and DirectX 9.0c please run DxDiag and tell me what should be in the log for those items shown in red on my original post?

 

Sincere Apologies for disappearing Plodr, I had a major HD crash and have been off-air for some weeks.

It all started with the power supply tripping out during boot-up which was the beginning of a nightmare. I am still having problems which I will start a new thread for.

Thank you so much for the help you gave me regarding my DirectX woes; having to re-install the OS has now fixed those.

Data recovery is now the name of the game!

Thanks again for all your help.

 

If only I were as wise as you !! :-o

I'll be posting soon under "Recovery".
