DirectX.....is g*y!

.....how is he on a P2, and run XP? How is he running XP and have the same screen setup as 9x? O_O

its a P3. For soem weird reason it doesnt say that, i upgraded this computer though. Directx v9.0 is designed for Windows XP but yet is capable wiht Windows 98. Microsoft just wants people to think 9.0 is going through a "BETA" phase. I am not allowed to say anything else. If a Admin reads this thread, please close it.

Actually that is all possible, XP can run on a P2 AND have the same screen setup as the 9X vesions of windows as long as you set the proper options.

Somehow I think Stefan knows more about it, seeing as he's a programmer.

What that "unsupported" thing means is that the peeps at Microsoft haven't tested the driver to see if it runs perfectly. I am pretty sure the problem is DirectX 9, which is in Beta version. Try to downgrade to DirectX 8.1 if possible. Also, try changing your color depth to something other than 24bit. Graal completely screwed up in 24bit color for me.

I dont think you can downgrade DX. I had 8 and i wanted to go back to 7, and no luck, it wouldnt work. I think the only way you can downgrade is to reinstall whatever version of windows you have. And if you have XP, well then theres no way to get to 8.0 or lower.

supersonic, im sorry to say that i never had much respect for you, but to come out with this, for no reason, makes have even less respect for you. I dont think they would have hired you if you spoke to them like that, so why speak to others like that?

If i was still GP chief, id suspend, or fire you for that.

ha i didnt notice that....i always ignore that dude

Whether your dad works for Microsoft or not, you're ignorant.

Microsoft Windows eXPerience comes preloaded with DirectX 8.1, which is the LATEST non-Beta version of DirectX available to the public.

It's possible to have XP run on a PII, but not the kind of system he is running; not with 64MB of RAM.

And yes, the 9x screen is available simply by switching to "Classic" mode.

Also, royce, due to the fact that you are running a build of XP which is almost 400 builds out of date, that could be causing you a problem.

Just click on the "Don't use Direct X 7" button in General options, then.

I check the Window's Update site very often and they are still using the DirectX 8.1 version. Better opt for it.

No such thing as 9.0, anyways. His screenshot is most likely doctored...or fake to begin with. Considering I was checking my own DirectX diagnostic screen and it's much more up to date than his.

geh, im just saying how odd it is to censor the word...
