DirectX Problems!
 

Hey! And Merry Christmas to All!

After reinstalling Win98SE yesterday, I discovered that somehow I
messed up DirectX 9.0b. I'm using a Chaintech Geforce4 Ti4200 with the
45.23 drivers. Here's what the Dxdiag program says:

Beyond reinstalling Win98SE once again, what can be done to fix this
problem? I can't run any D3D games like Warcraft 3 and Morrowind, but
have no problems with RTCW:ET (OpenGL game).

If you re-installed Win98 over-itself without 1st removing any updates
you may have applied to Internet Explorer then you may not be able to
get a stable system again until you do a clean re-install as the
updates invalidate the default setup.exe that win98/SE uses.
You can remove DirectX,
http://www.dxbuster.de/index_e.html
and re-install it but see caveats.This may help.
I would clean re-install this way,

which will leave all the data outside the Windows folder and the
programs files folder in tact but you will need to re-install most
programs.

HTH :)

Hey!

Thanks for the quick responses!

I forgot to reinstall the AGP chipset drivers needed for the ECS K7S5A
MB!

I reinstalled them and now DX works fine!
