Ok I screwed up somewhere

Vengeance · Sep 28, 2003, 12:15 PM

I just swaped out my HDD's and installed XP home on my 80 gig WD. And left in my 9700Pro, Forgot to install DX9 and went ahead and installed the 3.7 drivers. And when I ran 3dmark 2001 my score was a little lower than what it was before. And it says I have DX8

So I uninstalled the driver's and then reinstalled them.....Samething

3dm2k3 says I'm running DX8

And I cant find the DX icon in my control panle like I used to have. What can I do to fix this?

To open up DXdiag... go to start/run/ then type in DXDIAG and hit enter... volla... there yeah go.... BTW, if you want the easy to install DX9.0b (instead of that web based installer)... Microsoft has it... Look for the Redistrutable.... most excellent... (works across all windows platforms....)

I think you get this icon if you install Omega drivers.

Also, look out for a redist as Judas suggested.

Heh Heh thanks guys, But I think it was all my fault. I was running the old version of 3Dmark2001

I went and downloaded the new SE version and it says I have DX9 now
