rec.autos.simulators

Several files (Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll,
Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll, Microsoft.DirectX.DirectDraw.dll,
etc.) are beta versions, which are unsupported and could cause
problems.
You should reinstall DirectX to get the latest version.

A re-install does not help. When I search for these files I can't find
them anywhere(I do have "show all files selected"

I've used a couple of dx removers but no joy. I think these file
entries may be hidden in the registry or a cab file somewhere. Again I
searched the reg and found nothing irregular.

Can someone please shed some light ?

Thx, Tony
