DirectX
Hi,
In response to your question below, I have looked into getting DirectX 8.0, and have found that 8.0 is elusive, or not available, however there is a patch available titled 8.0a. This is on the Microsoft DirectX download website at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dir...nloads/default ..asp Here's my puzzle....................................... My own problem is that I am trying to determine if DirectX 9.0 is compatible with WindowsXP Home Edition. I am trying to figure out how to do video capture, editing, AVI, and CD burning with an analog Hi8 Sony Handycam CCD-TRV 308 on a brand new Dell Dimensions 8200 (which lists AGP 4X as the video controller) running Windows XP Home Edition and TRYING to use Dazzle MovieStar 5.2 (which calls for DirectX) I went to download DirectX and became wary due to the massive amount of 'watch out' information related to using with Windows XP and incredibly lengthy and complicated instructions for RESTORING THE OPERATING SYSTEM. AND ...FOR TURNING 'SYSTEM RESTORE' OFF AND ON. It's very discouraging and I am not confidant that XP and DirectX is compatible. Can anyone advise me? Will I have this problem with Pinnacle as an analog video interface? Is AGP 4X, the video controller supplied with my Dell the same as DirectX 9.0? Do I need some kind of additional card? What interface will work with my components? Can you or anyone forward this to any of your friends who might know. Thanks tons from Newport, RI Bob -----Original Message----- I am running directX 9.0 with a NVIDIA GeForce 4. When I run DXdiag the 3D video works in DX 7 and DX 9 modes but not in DX 8 mode which most of the apps I'm trying to use require. Has anyone had a similar problem and know a resolution? . |
