DirectX 8
I would greatly appreciate it if someone knows, and could tell me, where I could find some drivers for an SiS530 video card that support DirectX 8. Thank you

Or if you know some way of downgrading to DirectX 7 without reformatting...

You CAN downgrade from DirectX 8 to DirectX7, I've never done it but I know that it is possible. There are utilities out there that basicaly 'remove' directx 8 and then you just install directx 7.

Here are the drivers for your card: http://www.sis.com.tw/support/download/530.htm

They officially support DirectX 7, but it WILL still work with DirectX 8 (or at least... it should, no reason why it shouldn't)

Those are the drivers I have, but they dont work for DirectX 8...I have idea why either, it really ticks me off.

I had that problem for a while but I found a downgrade from 8 to 7. Worked fine for me.
