Game Not Starting

Post by FreedomRock »

I have downloaded a few different versions of Maximum-Football, and have had the same problem everytime. The main game file never starts, and whenever the Utilities file tries to start, a message stating "ActiveX component can't create object" appears. I had this problem on my old computer because it was outdated, but I'm not sure what the problem on my new computer is. I bought it in June of 2006, so I thought that just about everything should have been up to date. I've attached my DxDiag file so any problems can be diagnosed.

When you install the game, one of the last things you're prompted for is to 'install game components' and 'Install DirectX'.
 
Both those values need to be checked when you install the game.

I have installed DirectX 9.0c, and still have no further success.  I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies.  Should I re-install the game?  If so, how do I uninstall it first?

I'd try that.  You can uninstall via Windows Add/Delete Program or from the Start/Programs/Maximum-Football/Uninstall menu.
 
Make sure that the "install game components" and "Install DirectX" are checked, and wait for it to complete.  There is a pause before completion.
 
I had a similar problem when my DirectX file became corrupted.
