Can't Install DirectPlay in Windows 10?
I am uing a Inspiron 5548 Laptop and playing some games on Windows 10, which requires DirectPlay. But when I install it I have an error message "Error code: 0x80073701".
I've tried sfc /scannow in command prompt, but I get "Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service."
No Events found!

Hi there,
When I activate Direct Play via legacy components the installation code runs. It ends with a message saying the machine needs to be restarted.
Once the machine has been restarted Direct Play is deactivated and I am back to square one.
Can you help? I've uninstalled Skype and turned off my anti-virus.

My friend has the same issue....I've tried having him install direct x 9.0c and basically everything else that people suggest for ANY issues with directplay. Really need a solution.

What to do. Can't run even GTA Vice City.
It show "Grand Theft Auto VC requires at least DirectX version 8.1"
Please reply.
