Exclamation Permanent Error Directx

After installing the newest Worl Wind I recieved the advice to install the newest version of Directx, which I did with the version 9c-April-2006. After opening once more World Wind, I recieved the Error:
Unable to locate a compatible graphics adapter. Make sure you are running the latest version of DirectX.
-2146232832 (Unknown)
at WorldWind.WorldWindow..ctor()
at WorldWind.MainApplication.InitializeComp onent()
at WorldWind.MainApplication..ctor()
at WorldWind.MainApplication.Main(String[] args)

Could you help me. I am a normal end user.

Thanks Werner

Thumbs up Permanent Error

Hi,

many thanks for your fast answer.

I do not have graphic cards installed. If that could resolve my problems I will buy and install one. As I do'nt know very much about hardware please recommend on or two because I'm living in Brazil and do'nt know if I'm able to find the best one.

Regards

Werner

Here is a link to a page that tells you what graphics cards have worked for others.

You also need a compartible graphic card.

Perhaps this will help.
