Downgrading Direct X?
I understood that when i installed DirextX 9.0b before i couldnt Un-install it. It didnt however mention downgrading.
As with the problems i have been facing, old drivers etc, i decided to Download DirectX 8 and install that over 9.0
I did it with no warning or anything, only thing is in dxDiag it still shows that im using DirectX 9.0
Bah i hate Microsoft!
Any ideas anyone?
-
You can't downgrade Direct X afaik.
-
B*****d!
Looks like another possible format:cry:
-
Old drivers shouldn't matter to it though, because it is backwards compatable.
-
well apparently my Drivers are too old for DirectX 9
I downloaded this thing called "DirectX Eradicator" which claims to Un-install the core files, didnt work.:mad:
-
Yeah it won't. DirectX changes core Windows files so Windows can use DirectX's features to render things, you can't get rid of it and you can't downgrade it.
-
There service is poor then, they could of have a BOLD WARNING explaining possible problems.
Oh well, thanks anyway dude:thumb:
-
I've only ever seen this problem once before, tis very odd... Try getting newer drivers to fix it either fromt he official sources or www.driverguide.com

I already tried that thank pal, i need to be running DirectX 7 in order for my now redundant drivers to work with games.:(
