Hi Dark, Smile. Well then, I have some very bad news for you. DirectX 10 only comes preinstalled with Windows Vista. DirectX 11--which I am running--only comes preinstalled with Windows 7. So your only two choices are upgrade Windows or do without. Microsoft has no plans to fully port DirectX 10 or DirectX 11 to XP. I'm sure that is an intentional move on their part to force the remaining XP gamers such as yourself to upgrade to Windows 7 by holding back certain components required to run newer PC games.
To be honest that is why I haven't included a lot of the newer DirectX components in the G3D engine yet. i know there are still too many XP users to just convert everything to DirectX 11 standards and end up screwing those customers out of a XP compatible game. By doing that I'd only end up blowing my foot off because I don't think people are going to go out and buy a new computer with Windows 7 on it just to play my games. Although, Direct3D 11 is a far superior graphics API and XAudio2 currently has the best 5.1 surround sound system on the market. Both would improve my games, but Direct3D 11 is a Windows 7 only component. Cheers!
