				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??

				 | i just checked for the 9.0.. and its impossible..  I'm guessing its the same for earlier version.. you can onyl upgrade.. I'm not sure, but I also think its impossible to downgrade..

				 | 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?
