Common Problems Installing

2. The installer tells me I am missing a crucial component, or gives me an error message about DirectX or .NET.

Skill City requires the very latest version of DirectX and the Microsoft .NET Framework in order to function properly. The installer will attempt to download and install these components for you, but should it fail, you can download them and install on your own.

Windows Update users can run Windows Update and select to install optional updates, which will download and install these components for you. If you do not use Windows Update you can obtain the proper versions by visiting Microsoft.com or a third party site called Software Patch. Make sure that you obtain the latest build of DirectX 9.0C and .NET 2.0

3. I use Windows Vista
