Is there any way to force netkar99 to work with dx 8.1? Complaints here
about dx9 convinced me not to install it, but so many demos refuse to run
without it... Thanks for any ideas. My system: winXP, ATI Radeon 9700
video card, Audio Audigy sound card, Pentium 4.

Use dx9 it works fine with all games and with either win98 or winxp

Nope, it'll never EVER EVER work - it was written with the dx9 software dev
kit.

Install Dx9, i have it on both my machines with no probs

Be warned! DX9 is some of the most dangerous software known to man!
Install it at your peril. Anyone who even considers installing it should be
considered a real dare-devil.

j/k

Not had a single with DX9 problem with it myself.

No offense but anyone who has probs with direct x prolly needs to take a
basic computer course...i know about 20 ppl with dx9 and no-one has had a
prob except one dude who had never used a pc before

From my limited problems with customers i can say that nothing will ever
surprise me.

The installation of DirectX8.0 whilst doing a defrag whilst doing a Spybot
search whilst playing mp3's on WMP springs to mind.

The Norton Utilities man who thought it best to run its routine once an hour
"..just in case.."

The woman who was burning a cd when her scheduled maintenance started and it
locked her pc solid,including no response whatsoever to the on off
button.She was in too much of a flap to think of disconnecting from the
wall.

And this weeks,in fact last nights is the lady who had a cd drive fitted
when i made up the machine,two days later she rings saying her dvd's dont
work in it.At her stern request we swap the cd drive for a dvd drive.

Last night she rings saying where can she buy the dvd equivalents of all her
cd's as she 'obviously' cant use them now.

Laugh...?....I cried. :)

Classic!

My best one when doing tech support work was a financial analyst who
worked on a city trading floor. He phones me up to say that a report
he gets each morning sent to the printer by his desk wasn't there. I
resend the report to his printer. He phones up to say it still isn't
there. I go up to see him, look at the printer and see that it is
turned off. I switch it on, the report prints and I hand it to him.
What did you do he asked. I turned it on I said through gritted teeth.
Why was it turned off he asks. I don't know I reply. How do I know if
it is turned on he asks. Look at the lights I reply. Find out who
turned it off he tells me - he sits in an openplan dealing room with
about 200 people in it!

Dunno, I thought scrolling was covered in basic computer courses.....

by **Dan_Leac** » Fri, 18 Jul 2003 21:25:03

The point is still valid..many ppl refuse to install dx9 through
stupidity..just cause u tried to make a joke doesnt change this. Sorry i
didnt scroll down to the bottom of your post looking for ;) it just isnt
something im in the habit of searching for

I got the impression from the NG that dx9 caused a significant slowdown in
framerate for many people... Does it? Games/sims that I'm playing: F1 2k2
and several of it's mods, GPL, LFS, Half-Life, Quake 1-3, NOLF 1 and 2,
Unreal, UT.

I am not as much into retro *** as you are, but in all the games I
play I haven't seen a noticeable difference.
