Direct X Help

Possible Problem here.

I found what i though was a Directx9 remover, however when i tried to download it , the file was the same size as the Directx9 Beta file that I am also downloading !.

Now i don't know what I'm getting

hmmm
strange

---

Its ok i tried to download the same file twice ooopsssss lol

Where John?? Where is teh Direct X 9 uninstaller? Is it compaitble with XP?!? Aghhhhhhhhh!

Right, i've been snooping about a bit.

U can get the directx eradicator from here :-

[www.freewebz.com]

But as cai says, its not XP compatible. However i also found out that if you're using XP then u just need to create a system restore point b4 installing the directx9 beta


Oh and by the way , apparantly the beta version expires on Aug 20th.

And obviously restore your pc to that time if things go loopy lol

Oh yeah, I didn't realise system restore would create it...

But hang on. If you have to completely reinstall windows to get rid of the direct x, surely it means installing it can't be 'undone', which is what system restore does...

Well i'm going to try the eradicator anyway, i'll try running it in win 98 compatibility mode and see if that works

:D

well the directx eradicator DID uninstall my version of directx, but i had a bit of trouble re-installing it. Eventually i restored my system and now everything is fine

Righty prostitute.

why did u want to uninstall it before u put dx9 on?

---

Just checking that the eradicator actually worked with xp

ok

lol

It says they are releasing an XP compatible version soon, version 1.09.

this is like a john, jon and cai forum.............

OKay let me get something straight...has anyone downloaded this and tried restoring their system to have version 8.1, with windows XP?? It's just this expires on the 20th of August and I cant restor properly I'm screwed, so has anyone tried this.

I volunteer to be the guinea pig . I'll let you know how i get on .
