When running 98se I only use Direct X 8 My pc has a 500cpu. When running 9 it has problems. Check your Direct X by running its troubleshooter and doing all the tests.
Since downloading latest version (9.0c) of DirectX I have been having problems with viewing games (sound is ok). Before going into details I want to make sure I am in the right forum. (I barely know what DirectX is).
My OS is 98SE and everything ran fine on the older version of DirectX. (Is 98SE comfortable with version 9.0c ?)
So, the first question is, am I in the right pew in the right church or right church but wrong pew? If it is the former please point me in the right direction. If the latter, let me know what else you need from me in order to help me.
