How do I check to see which version of DirectX I have? I've finally found out WHY there were problems with my computer sounds...when I installed Desktop Themes, it appears either I or my computer(OR both) messed up on the orders an dit uninstalled some sound files. And I finally figured out how to uninstall Desktop Themes, although it took a few tries.

Start - Run - "DXDIAG" there you can find what directx you are using; it's right at the first page -------------------- "The Darkness Shall Return!" Posts: 642 | Registered: Saturday, March 16 2002 08:00 |

Homepage
on the dxdiag panel is a list of all DirectX files with their version numbers. It is not uncommon that these vary wildly (i.e. directdraw 8, directound 6 and a half, etc). This usually doesn't cause much of a problem but sometimes it might. Some older games have a tendency of overwriting a newer directx version with an older one at install time, which does cause a problem. Both can be fixed (usually) by downloading the most recent version from microsoft's webpage. I've had at least two experiences myself with directmusic crashing my computer because of version trouble. -------------------- Pieter Simoons, aka Radiant Official Crystal Shard and SubTerra webpage Posts: 798 | Registered: Monday, December 17 2001 08:00 |
