Direct X 8 Beta - oops!
Hi, I installed the beta version of DirectX 8 thinking it would be cool to try it. But I beleive it to be an old version of a RC. Now I get certain errors (which suggest it's time limited). Is there anyway of removing or reinstalling the DirectX 7.

Is there anyway of removing or reinstalling the DirectX 7.0a that ships with 2k ? I have attempted to reinstall the 2K but the DX8 is still there? Any ideas?

You could do an upgrade install it leaves all your setting as they were but just installs all of the system defaults.I did this it restored directx 7.Just stick your cd in and choose upgrade when prompted.
Or use the system file protection command
c:sfc /scannow
i dont know if direct x files are protected try it though.
good luck .

try installing directx7 again and see if it asks to overwrite the newer files with an older file and choose yes - it 'might' work
you need to install the latest beta, which rocks, instead. You'll have to hunt around for it.
