DirectX error - Forte - 14-06-2008

Code:
Sub InitDirectX()

    ' Initialize direct draw
    Set DD = DX.DirectDrawCreate("")


Never gotten this error before, Tried searching for it on the forums only came across one topic about not having DX7 installed? I'm not sure. Anyone can tell me how to fix it or explain the error would be great

Possibly if you used a reg cleaner it may have removed the key for the DX7 dll. I would try just re-registering it.
