iron2000 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 (edited) After installing DX9, I ran the DXDiag tool and found out that there is still beta components. Tried to install those RC builds but stop after they said that it will expire. Why is it so? Edited December 20, 2002 by iron2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger12348 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I'm not sure if this happened to you guys but after installing DirectX 9.0 I had to replace my Shell32.dll file and some others again. didn't happen in Beta releases but Final it did. Just curious if this happened to any of you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudEngineer Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I'm not sure if this happened to you guys but after installing DirectX 9.0 I had to replace my Shell32.dll file and some others again. didn't happen in Beta releases but Final it did. Just curious if this happened to any of you guys. Thats because of a Windows Update, not dx9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyder Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 did you follow the suggestion in dxdiag? "you should reinstall directx to get the latest version" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron2000 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 After looking at DxDiag again I found out that I have both Beta and Final versions of the files in my last screenshot. Final: 5.03.0000.0900 Beta: 5.03.0000.0389 ??? So I should just reinstall DX9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 DirectX 9 is now on the official DirectX site. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder Veteran Posted December 20, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2002 No I'm not a Slashdotter, I am in a position to know.And I know that this build is not final. Anyway I've wasted enough time here, go download. Install Pre-release software, what do I care. What's the point, unless you have an ATI 9700 then DX9 will do nothing for you anyway. I give up. :blink: :wacko: :blink: lol http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.asp I guess you need to re-evaluate what you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
