Well i think he is seeing the "old" dx8.2 beta as a virus, because it was timebombed. I've just scanned for the second time the content of DPLAY82Q with Norton Antivirus 2003 using the latest definitions, and again no virus found, so you can safely download the DPLAY82Q patch.

If anyone is found intentionally posting links to a virus their account will be immediately and permanently suspended, all access will be blocked, and all information will be forwarded to the offending user's ISP for immediate account termination.

Note: "Time-bombed" software does NOT constitute a virus - referring to it as such causes unnecessary hassles and is likely going to get you shot clean off the forums.

What didn't work???? The new dx8.2 works fine, you don't see any boxes og upgrade boxes, just reboot and type dxdiag, you'll see.

Don't feed the trolls.

The 8.2 set has now been released by Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...arch&ordinal=9

at the link you'll find the whole package with directx8.1b and 8.2 directplay patch bundled into... *tada* DirectX 8.2

Works for Windows 98 & 2000 & Windows Me, Win XP

But if you allready has 8.1b installed, use the small patch above.
