I recently reinstalled my machine (Windows 7), and after installing the Liine Lemur Daemon and editor software, Windows prompts me with "Unable to use Direct 3D, Please Install Direct X" or what not when booting.

I've re-installed Direct X and tried a bunch of things to no avail.

I saw several posts about this. Is there a solution?

Hi Ryan,

Could you please get in touch with us via support@liine.net?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Marino.

This happens to me as well. If I start it manually, it works fine but starting with Window (7 64 bit) I get the DX prompt.
BTW I use a startup delayer program and if I delay Lemur Daemon by a few seconds I avoid the prompt.

Hi
So it's basically a Windows system problem caused by it attempting to start the Daemon before it has loaded needed resources . . .

Yes.

Once I told Liine support I was using VMWare they said "VM's are not supported." and then stopped helping me.

I'm like this has NOTHING to do with the VM. And it WAS working before I reinstalled windows. Like just open a defect report and get someone to look at it...

Hi
My comment was intended to mean that it is a problem of the Windows system not the application.
DirectX seems to cause numerous problems with all sorts of apps so there are those issues as well.
I can understand them putting limitations on system support to say hardware Mac and PC systems

If it was working in the VM'd Windowz before the re-install then something changed . . .
If it was working in native hardware Windowz but then not VM'd then it's a VM problem.
Remember a VM is NOT the same as hardware and I doubt they claim 100% compatibility

Try delaying the start or manually opening the Daemon as BeatPete suggested as a solution.
It appears that the sytem has not loaded DirectX fully when it tries to start the Daemon.

But I'm getting the error even when I uncheck launch at startup! I have to fully uninstall the app to get rid of that error. I don't mind starting the daemon manually, the error is just annoying

I've got the same annoying problem. Uncheck launch at startup doesnt do anything, it just launches with the next reboot. Also the checkbox is activated when opening the program window again. (In other word the checkbox doesnt work (windows 7 64bit))

Windows 64 bit here as well. All windows updates installed, latest DirectX reinstalled, DirectX diags show no errors.

I can confirm this on Win 7 Pro 64 bits
