After installation, attempting to run the software results in an error complaing that DirectX 6.1 is required (even though I have DirectX 8.1 installed!!!).
 
Any ideas?
 
Cheers.

Yup there seems to be no way to get them running at the moment, and i doubt they will ever run.
 
Ive tried all i can think of really, and if you check the madonion boards they cant get it working either

OP
Bugger, looks like i might have to go and install Win98SE/ME as a dual boot just to get it running.
 
I didn't really want to have to do that. :-( *shrugs*
 
cheers.

Madonion already declared non-compliance for 3Dmark99 and 2000 with XP for a ver long time.

Why would you want to run 3DMark '99 that bad?!
