Author Topic:   Need help with DirectX Archer Cadet posted 06-17- 09:47 AM             Trying to help a fellow flyer get started with SDOE. I believe the problem to be related to the fact that his DirectX version is 4.0. Had him install the DirectX version located on the FS CD and also downloaded V6.0 from Microsoft Web, but both times when he checks DXDiag loacted in the Program Files\DirectX\Setup folder it still shows Version 4.0? Everything appears to load properly & reboot at the end of installation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

IP: Logged darthbob Pilot posted 06-17- 10:14 AM                if it says 4.06 then it should be ok. if not then i have to think about it. IP: Logged Mighty Pilot posted 06-17- 08:04 PM                What darthbob said. This is a case where the number in the marketing material doesn't match what's in the executable. 4.06 *is* DX6. I have DX7 on this machine and DXDiag shows 4.07. IP: Logged Archer Cadet posted 06-17- 09:38 PM             Ok, thanks will give that a look and try. What threw me was that my version shows 6.01 so I assumed that his would too. Will keep you posted on the results.

Good Luck......-SWIVET ^I^ http://www.ebrink.com/dxun/index.html IP: Logged
