A couple of my games don't work I think because of the unstablelity of Direct X 6 ... How do i uninstall Direct X 6 and get back my direct x 5 ? Thanks.
Try this NG microsoft.public.directx. I've seen some people mention an uninstaller there. // Johan > A couple of my games don't work I think because of the unstablelity of > Direct X 6 ... > How do i uninstall Direct X 6 and get back my direct x 5 ? > Thanks.

------ Simplest method would be to format c: However I've had Direct X 6 running for a while and it seems more stable than X 5. Do some hardware compatibility tests and change the debug levels if your games keep on crashing (Direct X Setup option etcs). Dustin

Am I missing something or what. Can you not download 5 and reinstall? -- Please remove NOSPAM to reply via email

There's an uninstall program floating about on the web. Try a yahoo search (or dejanews search). As far as I know, however, the only Microsoft sanctioned way to do this is to reformat your harddrive.

The DX setup does a version check, and if you're trying to install an older version, it just ignores you. Uninstalling DX6 is almost impossible too - even trying it from the System/Remove Programs icon. It just like the Justice Dept says! You can't get the goddam Microsoft outta your computer!!!

You are missing the fact that the subject line of a Usenet post is there to *INFORM* others of the topic of said post, and that it should ONLY ever be changed if the topic changes. Because I expect others to conform to this policy I have set my Agent options so that a new thread is indicated whenever the subject is changed. However, you keep changing the subject in your threads without actually changing the topic. Please stop that and keep your creative wit to the contents of your post, rather than the subject line.

Is that what you were looking for? Seriously, I will try not to change the subject line in the future...unless of course I plan on changing the subject ;) >You are missing something but it isn't related to DirectX.

Has anyone tried monitoring the installation with a third-party install monitoring program like Quarterdeck Cleansweep? It is supposed to be able to uninstall and recover the exact state of your puter before you installed a program... >A couple of my games don't work I think because of the unstablelity of >Direct X 6 ... >How do i uninstall Direct X 6 and get back my direct x 5 ? >Thanks.
