Hi!

I installed NBA Live '99 and with the CD-ROM came DirectX 6.0. During
installation the program promted that I should install DX6 since I had
antiquated one already installed. After that it said I should restart my
computer and I did. But installation never continued after rebooting. I
thought 'what the heck' and tried to run NBA Live from the shortcut on
desktop. The logo appeared a-OK but immediately preceeding a window that
informs me of an Internet-connection being opened! After that the game
crashes and notifies that dialing should not be executed while running
some DirectX-components.

Now, I know that DX6 uses electronical registeration and I believe that
the program got stuck while attempting to registerate. Therefore I'm
asking if anyone knows how to uninstall DX6? Or if my problem is due to
some other factors please let me know!!

I've got the same thing going on with my game. Hehe....tough luck, eh? I
don't know the problem either. I also have dx6.0. Is your game original
though?
