Could someone answer my question? I don't need advice about being cautious
with DirectX upgrades--why would I be asking this in the first place if I
wasn't cautious? I don't need people telling me to not upgrade--I have
upgraded every version from DX3 to 7 without a hitch so far. If your system
is configured properly and you have up-to-date hardware and drivers, DX is
rarely going to cause a problem. But we have a specific realism concern
here on r.a.s. with the dead zone issue. That's all I am asking about.
