Everytime I install dx9 (the latest) I start getting a bunch of memory dumps and have to use system restore to go back to dx 8.1 before it will boot. M$ has done it to me again.

DX 9 or DX9a?

James55 25th Apr 03 02:24 AM

9a it seems. Never had it with 9.0

Hey James;

run msconfig, and look for an entry called "dumpreg-k", or something like that; if it is checked, UNCHECK it, reboot, and see if that fixes it!

Good Luck!

No such animal there wase but thanks. Anyway I used system restore and now running with dx 8.1 and its fine

Have you tried replacing it with DX9?

James55 25th Apr 03 07:52 AM

Not yet but I may try the earlier version of dx9 tomorrow

James55 25th Apr 03 08:28 PM

Installed the ealier 9.0 now no problem(so far)

Hey James,

are you using the latest video drivers for your graphics card?
some driver versions are notorius for not getting along with DX9..

Just a suggestion, but it sound like you finally got that bad boy humming!
