Hello Inquisit members,

I have a question about an error message I received on my a new laptop (Windows 8.1) when running an older program. It is a joystick program called: 'Face Gaze Joystick Task' and uses Inquisit 4.
The message I received was the fallowing: 'Could not initialize Direct Input'. Is there a problem with the new Windows version, the version of DirectX (on this laptop version 11). The program was officially made for Windows XP with DirectX version 9.0c, does it mean that the program can not work on a new laptop with new software like Windows 8.1? I already tried downloading older DirectX versions, other drivers etc., but I can still not run the program.

Thank you,

Rachel Arends
