it loads and wont play, it says it is running in the background, i have done all tech suggestions, uninstalled, checked integrity of files, and it still does not play HELP please!

I keep getting an error every time I try to launch the game. "Unable to find a directX device. Make sure you have DirectX installed and have installed the latest drivers for your video card." I have tried a few fixes, none have worked, any advice?

I cannot play the Barnacle Blast game. Every time I start, the game starts to lag more and more, until the paddle and ball don't even appear to move before I get the Try Again screen. I can't play a game that's lagging that much! How do I fix this?

the last time i played nancy drew, i don't remember there being an option for subtitling. i'm deaf and i need the option so i was wondering if anyone knew for a fact if the option is available or not before i buy the game. thanks :)
