It's easy enough to do on your own. 1. Run reedit and delete the keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D

Er... sorry about that, let me finish: 1. Run Regedit and delete: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectDraw HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectMusic HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectPlay HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectShow HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectX 2. Delete C:\Program Files\DirectX 3. Reboot to DOS and go to c:\windows\system and start deleting files: del ddraw*.* del d3d*.* del dinput*.* del dsound*.* del dplay*.* del dpmodem*.* del dpwsock*.* del ddhelp*.* del dxapi*.* del dm*.dll - Eric
Your beta drivers are probably the 3Dfx ones, not DX6. Remove the reference drivers and not MS DX6 drivers, as most games need them now. Iain >I have beta drivers i want to remove.
