Hi David.
Actually if you could test this I'd be very greatful, sinse the downloads
I'm finding ar confusing me.
Microsoft themselves don't seem to have direct x 10 for download, in fact
the latest xp version i could find was a 9.0c update dated September of this
year and marked for windows vista, 7 and xp.
Yet, when i google according to this page
http://www.directx10.net/archives/Directx-Download-Download-DirectX-10-for-Windows-XP.html
microsoft only bought out direct x 10 on vista, and not even for windows 7
which is going to have direct x 11 yet doesn't yet, so this page offers the
old alpha version of direct x 10 which is supposed to make everything direct
x related better even on vista.
No I don't understand it either, however if you could test this alpha I
located on a virtual box and let me know that would help a lot sinse the
last thing I want to do is download an unstable alpha of direct x 10 without
good cause.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
If you can find Directx 10 and send the link I would look but am
fighting with migrating imap folders, I can check in an xp vm that I
have, so that if it doesn't work you won't be fighting two directx
versions or any compatibility issues.

Well first I need to find the download!
I tried googling direct x 10, but the only download it brought me to was
the
9.0C one I already have for some reason.
It would be rubbish if dx10 only comes preinstalled with windows 7.
Beware the grue!

You'll have to try it and see. If it fixes the issue then that should be
made known to Jake.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Thanks david,
That did the job certainly. I've got direct x 9.0c here as well it
seems,
hmmm, I wonder if you can install direct x 10 on xp? and if so, if it
will fix the Airik issue?
Beware the grue!

Hello Dark and List,
I can't answer your questions about DirectX 10 I was not aware there
was such a thing, I'm running DirectX 9.0C, and this is on an xp
machine. My folks box is running 7, it's a new dell, and I know it has
directx as well, I think it's still 9 though.
As far as directx information that I can help with. Dark you were
close with your directx command in the run dialog, go for this though.
In the run dialog, and I would presume in the vista/7 search box type
in dxdiag and hit enter. That'll bring up a multitab dialog box which
will allow querying and adjusting of various directx options. Of
interest and relevance is that the directx version is at the bottom of
the system tab, the one you land on by default.
Hth
Dave.

I was wondering if someone could help with this.
It occurred to me that with what Tom said about how direct x 10 was
essentially the same as 8 apart from it's graphics handling, This bug
that
prevents the finder from speaking on Airik the clerric when run on
windows
xp could be because the people running xp who've tried it (myself
included),
have versions of direct x earlier than 10. Airik does afterall use a
graphical framework for the games' objects (though with invisible
graphics,
yes, this is odd but it's the way the games' been designed).
Is there a way to check what version of direct x I'm running?
I've checked in add/remove programs and windows components, but there
was
nothing there. I also tried typing directx into windows run box, but
that
just lead me into the directx folder in system32.
Is there a way to check my version of direct x? And if it is wrong,
will
direct x 10 even run on windows xp.
Any thoughts?
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
