I downloaded the demo and it said "do you have directx installed properly?" Anyone else have this problem and could they fix it? Thanks.

This is not a problem...do you or don't you have the most current version of Microsoft's direct X installed? (version 7.0a I think is renamed to v7.1)(double check that!!!) If you have updated directx...you don't have a problem. If you are still running dx3 or dx6 then Nascar Heat may not run properly. and...get ready...Direct X 8 is due to be released anyday now... (watch for messages like....DX8 broke my system...how can I get dx7 back) {often these messages come from the same folks who had trouble upgraded from 1 to 3 , 3 to 5, 5 to 6 and 6 to version 7.} dave henrie "RayRR28" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I downloaded the demo and it said "do you have directx installedproperly?" > Anyone else have this problem and could they fix it?

Actually, we already tested with DX8 in Heat & y'all should be just fine.

That's not a problem, it's a question. If the answer is yes, you don't have a problem. If the answer is no, then go get the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft, install it, and then reload the demo. http://www.microsoft.com/DirectX/ ~daxe
