Hello, all the time that launch RE4 (on windows) appear the next message: "Couldn't set up Directx". This seems to me strange, RE4 works whit Directx 9 same that FIFA 2008, but FIFA runs awesome.
The card video on windows says its 224 Mb on the control panel. Should i have to check on the bios for change the memory destined to the video card?. If this is the solution: how i can enter to the macbook BIOS on windows??

Sorry for my gramatic and spelling.

Ill be so gratefull for any help.

1) Macs don't have BIOS, they use EFI to boot, not BIOS. One of the functions of bootcamp is to allow windows to boot through EFI. So you can't adjust anything in the BIOS, for Macs don't have that.

2) Macbooks have integrated graphics, and not all games will start properly with integrated graphics.

Only your last sentence is correct, there. Boot Camp allows your EFI to emulate a BIOS so that Windows sees a BIOS. Boot Camp does not enable EFI in Windows; that's a much more difficult task. Well, according to Microsoft it is; that's why there's still no EFI in Vista.
