DirectX - Direct Play not present on Windows 7


Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded my XP to Windows 7 and I learned there is no Network tab in dxdiag. I am trying to play Command and Conquer Generals with Direct Connect but the connection times out. It's very hard to troubleshoot without the dxdiag option; is there a workaround?

It's been deprecated since DX 8.1 and it had a lot of security vulnerabilities. You can still use it (I think). If you save your DxDiag report and open it with a text editor you should still be able to see the diagnostics info for it.
