I'm using DX7 and have found it completely painless , although I did
reinstall GPL just to be sure.

Please don't start tossing the Napalm.
I have two very competent friends who had assorted controller freak-outs with
DX7.
Any software package as big and hairy as Windoze (and its various subsystems) is
going to have "occasional" problems, even with "correctly" configured hardware.

Hey, Mr.Lemming (aka as M$ zealot), I'm not talking about MY system, it works
great with DX7, I'm talking about the dozens of posts complaining about messed
up systems after installing DX7.

Please tell all the game developers your mythical test procedures. They could
save a lot of time and money:

Test 1: It works on my system.
Test 2-100: Not necessary, see Test 1.

How did Billy Boy say: There are no bugs, just user errors.
Yeah, right...

You can uninstall it... I have managed to uninstal every version of Directx
that I have tried. If you'd like some info let me know.

According to Microsoft, 7.0a you _cannot_ uninstall unlike the
previous versions
