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...)
