Go for DX 6.0... after installing 6.1, I'm unable to run FF7 or Theme Hospital in hi-res mode. Very annoying... speaking o' which, anyone know of a way to completely erradicate DX6.1 and get back 6.0? (what kind of crapo-o company doesn't include an uninstall? ANY other company would hear about it, but MS? nooo, of course not...) Rich Niemaszyk wrote: > Need to install DirectX 6.0 or 6.1. > I am leaning to try 6.0 first.
