Chris Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and rich audio. DirectX 9.0 includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Beware though you can not go backNot even System Restore? :o DirectX 9.0 is a system component and cannot be uninstalled. If there is a problem with the DirectX installation, it can normally be resolved by shutting down all running applications and reinstalling. As mentioned previously, DirectX 9.0 is fully backward-compatible with titles written for previous versions of DirectX. If you are having other problems after installing DirectX 9.0, these can often be resolved by installing updated drivers for your display card, audio card, or input device.As with most software, users of Windows ME and Windows XP have the option of creating a "System Restore point" before installing. System Restore points allow you to roll back your operating system to a time before the software was installed. If you feel there are special circumstances which may necessitate removal of DirectX. It is recommended that you create a System Restore point. Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows 2000 do not support the "System Restore" feature.• Windows Millennium Edition: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 267951 • Windows XP: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 310405http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/d...roductinfo/faq/ -- Near the bottom of page.

Apparently System Restore does work, but I wouldn't trust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
