DirectX 8 not installed. Please install...

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my RADEON IGP 345M with the DHModTool3. Compaq Presario 2500.

I've installed the Catalyst 5.13 I believe and all installed as laid out in the instructions. Then when running the modtool and selecting the Go Mobile button it goes thru it's status bar then asks to install the drivers now and I select Yes. It then closes the modtool box and flickers the screen a little and then a Sever prompt comes up and says that DirectX 8 is not installed. Please install it before installing the display driver. Ok is the only button. When clicked it then brings up a ATI Drivers box the says Do you wish to continue? Yes or No buttons.

Is this normal and did the driver install? Or is there something that I'm missing. I've checked the .Net and it is installed.

Thanks for any help in this matter.

No, a driver install shouldn't be asking that, unless your DX is goofed up.

Maybe try reinstalling the latest DirectX and it may fix the DX8 file it's complaining about in the process....
