Direct X 9 removal tool actually works

I tried this and it does work with XP and DX9. I managed to go back to DX8.1 which my video card really was made to support. For some reason DX9 was automatically installed without asking me after I upgraded and reinstalled everything. i was told DX could not be uninstalled, but this program works perfectly. http://www.3dcenter.org/downloads/directx-dx9uninstaller.php Norton Jim Davis Nature Photography http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/

And what issues do you have with DX9.0a? Let me answer that for you. There are no issues with DX9.0a.

It always asks unless you have windows update set to automatically d/l AND apply all updates. Which is a really bad idea. DX9 has no issues per se so its really best to leave it, in fact DX9 actually improves in lots of areas.

That's true, for a security fix though. <spamtrap@localhost> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I >certainly don't see any reason do go back to DX8 though. Ack, I had meant to say DX9.0b. And the issue was something to do with security and Directplay. But there is no reason not to use DX9.0b now.

Dude, give your head a shake. U should never be so certain about anything , let alone that dx9a doesnt have bugs.

And I had meant to say DX9.0b. Some games require DX9 so unless you know you don't have games that require it there is no need to uninstall it. Are we clear on that yet?
