Problem Encountered at Step 13
Which Program: Allegiance
What Error Message: none

The game freezes the moment I launch my ship. I see the outside but am unable to do anything. Can't alt+tab to another app (task manager) can't minimalize, can't bring up the start menu. So if it weren't for my secondary monitor, there would be no way but reset. Never happened before, happened to me twice today. First time was at the start of a game when I first tried to launch. Second time when I reentered and tried to launch again

You should fill out the form (like you did in the other thread) so that the information is in one place. It helps us help you.

It is usually caused by an old DX version. Go to microsoft.com and download the most recent edition of DX9.0c. It should be the april or june version.

incidentally I did that during the installation of another program. My directX said I had 9.0c but the installation asked for it anyway. I only had the problems twice (in a row) and not again after that, even before I installed 9.0c (again). Thanks though

Most programs come with only the DX9.0c version thats out at the time of their release. Allegiance requires a fairly recent build of 9.0c. Download it from MS.com and install it. Doesn't hurt to keep it updated.
