Its a directory named 'plugin' in the PJ64 directory :]

In dxdiag there should be sth. like :
"DirectX version: DirectX <some number>" or sth. I dont have English Windows so I can't tell

Is there anything in the directory ?
Like some DLL files ? [ Jabo_Direct3D6.dll ]
If no : check the window option : Tools > Folder Options > View
Check if an option named something like : "...hidde extensions ..." is checked - yes - uncheck it and check for the DLL files again.

If there are any files download PJ64 agani - from a different sife ( homepage ? )

And post your PC spec ( CPU / Graphic Card / RAM )

Right click on my computer > properities > select the tab labeled [Hardware] or sth. > there should be a field witch 2 buttons , click the other one ( Hardware Menager ? ), now , in the new window , click the cross with "Graphic cards" - you should see a name of your Graphic Card.

Are the files in the plugin directory ?? Any DLL ones ?

U R not using the default ( Jabo's ) plugin.
Start PJ64 , go Options > Settings > select Jabo's Direct 3D6 1.5 ( assuming you have the newest version of PJ64 - 1.5 ). Hit OK and check if it works

Go to:

Start>Run and type Dxdiag and press enter
Go to where it says Display, your graphics card name should be there. Whilst you are there try running the D3D test to see if your card can handle it.

Desktop->Right Mouse Click->Settings(or options, the last)->
