My install said that dx8 is required. I already had it installed, so it skipped the install. "ArcLight" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a829de8$0$[email hidden]... > Thx Arc > >
Your install did not say it was required.............I did not install DX8 during the game install, and am playing the game using DX7. On Thu, 08 Feb 2001 15:19:22 GMT, "teemoney" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'm sorry........That could be. I'm running 98se. I am certain mine asked me if I would like to install DX8. Anyway, I said no thanks. Todd On Thu, 8 Feb 2001 14:44:12 -0500, "Dog-Leg" <[email hidden]> wrote:

no, No, NO!! N4 does not require DirectX 8. At the point in the install where it indicates it's going to install DirectX 8, just choose the option to not install it. I've been running N4 without DirectX 8 just fine. Dave Ericson "MomoBoy" JDB Racing markgame wrote:
