when i tryed to install thief 1 on my new comp,it said it cant install it due to a direct x issue with window nt,i got no idea what that means,is there a fix? running window 7 home premium.

Sure, grab the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733) unofficial patch from here. It contains various fixes and improvements to the textures and models, will update Thief to use ddfix and stop it crashing on multicore processors. Last time I used it I just had to copy the THIEF directory from my CD onto my computer in an area outside Program Files (e.g. c:\games is fine) and then run the patch and pick the directory I had copied it to.

This is answered in the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133946#install) Thief Series FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Technical / Purchasing / Etc.).

But did you try Al_B's suggestion of copying and pasting the Thief directory from the cd to your pc?
