Dont have DIRECTX 8.1?!

I'm trying to install a certain music related software that requires DirectX 8.1..

Now, I have 9.0, but it still doesnt allow me to install..
It just says I need 8.1, so I let it install 8.1.. then I reboot and still the same..


Any know what I should do??

yeah it's impossible to downgrade. look in the pc magazine archives and somebody has a tool to remove directx. it was like 1.5 years ago. look for that and you might get lucky

I'm 95% sure that there is a tool to remove DX9. It may take me a while to find it, but I'll look later tonight.

Run "dxdiag.exe" from the "Run..." box on your start menu. Make sure its reporting the correct version.

Soundforge by chance?
