Hi,
I want to use Retroarch on a Dell Optiplex 755 with onboard Intel Q35 graphics.
When I download and extract Retroarch I doubleclick retroarch.exe and there is a directly failure: “Retroarch.exe doesn’t work anymore” I’ve got the same issue with Windows 7 and Windows 10 - There is nothing more installed on this PC. I tested the RetroArch Version 1.2.2 and 1.3.4
Can anybody help?
Kind regards lattoflex
You need to install directx 9.0c. Look online for the web installer.
How can I install Directx 9.0c on a Windows 10 machine?
What found in Dell Optiplex 755 Manual for Windows 7 is:
To open the Task Manager, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.
Click File , press CTRL and click New Task (Run…) at the same time. A command prompt opens.
At the command prompt, type notepad, and then press ENTER.
Paste the following text into Notepad: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.exe\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.exe\OpenWithProgids] “exefile”=hex(0):
On the File menu, click Save as.
Select All Files in the Save as type list, and then type Exe.reg in the File name box.
Select Unicode in the Encoding list. Save it and remember the file location.
Return to the Command Prompt window, type REG IMPORT [filepath]Exe.reg, and then press ENTER.
Click Yes, and then click OK in response to the registry prompts.
Log off from your account. Then, log back onto your account.
Note You may have to restart the computer to restore the program icons to their original appearance.
Note After the problem is resolved, delete the Exe.reg file so that it is not mistakenly added back to the registry at a later date.
