Epsilon 5 Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 I was having troubles with some games, so I started to update my stuff, video drivers, and such. going on the windowsupdate website I saw DX 9.0a was released. I had 9.0 so I updated. After I rebooted, I noticed no game would start. running dxdiag I noticed that all directX acceleration are marked as not available Now I sent an email to ATI, but I was wondering if any tech head here could help me, in the meantime. I've updated my system profile to match my current configuration. I've tried 6 different driver versions, no change.
Kalshion Posted April 20, 2003 Report Posted April 20, 2003 DX9 is still a bit buggy = but im afred alot of games are using it now (and im sure BCG will to) Do not update any files on your system unless you really need to
GREG MILLER Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 EP5, did you get the correct DX9 part? I don't know if this holds true for DX9, but DX8 had 2 versions; 1 for Win9x, and 1 for WinNT OSs. Either that or your download and/or install went screwy. Did you try to reinstall DX9?
Commander Elio Jason Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 you got the Radeon 9700 right? i'm not sure what's wrong. i downloaded DirectX 9.0 but i haven't had any problems.
Epsilon 5 Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Posted April 22, 2003 At the end I reinstalled windows, and I'm sitting on DX 8.1, since it works. No more troubles I HAD directx 9.0, upgrading to 9.0a is what created my troubles.
