I install the game. Then i go to run the game and the problem is : I download DirectX 9 and i can't install because : .

After that i do right click in Max Payne2.exe
Properties --> Compatibility --> Run this program in compatibility mode for :
i select all the options there but nothing

I have DirectX 11.

Any ideas????

according to Microsoft, it should run OK:

download and install patch version 1.05 for the full game (- ie. not the Demo..)

Nothing my friend

Any ideas???

Uninstall game completely, restart, install game again with admin rights (explore\cdrom\setup.exe\right click and Run as Admin.

Uninstall and Install fresh audio and video drivers.

YMMV but sometimes this has helped me with old game problems. No, perhaps it is not a 100% solution but at this point... you got nothing to loose!

sorry to hear that, solidsneake

I'll try and install it myself, here - I have a copy on the shelf..

meantime, could you fill in as much information as possible
about your system - that will help with the reseach..

BTW - is that a desktop or a laptop..??

Laptop
Windows 7 prof 32bit
1,73 GHz intel centrino
1GB ram
Intel 915 graphic card
DirectX 11

I install the game 1 year before and the game play on my laptop (with OS Windows 7 prof ).

I format my laptop one month before and now i have the problem.

Thanks for all!!!

it installed OK on my rig - runs a bit "lumpy", mouse doesn't flow too well
but its playable, at least..

I installed the patch 1.01 from Rockstar Games - that seems to be the right one..

give it a try..

I installed the patch 1.01 but nothing tha same error.

Unistall then install the game again and after install i take this message
