Need DirectX 7.0 on NT 4.0 SP6a

How can I install DirectX 7. 0 or trick NT to support programs which require DirectX 7. 0? I'm trying to install a new version of Magic the Gathering on my NT box, but the program requires DirectX 7.

I'm trying to install a new version of Magic the Gathering on my NT box, but the program requires DirectX 7.0. MS only supports 6.0 for NT. Is there a registration entry I can tweak, an unsupported upgrade or some other method to do this?
 
Thanks,

MS only supports DX3 on NT4. Hacks were made to integrate DX5/6 into NT4 but they were hardly full implementations. The drivers for your video card themselves also have to implement higher DX functions which is why you don't see DX7/8 for NT4. So no. No DX7 for NT4.

Well, I've been running DX6 on my NT4 box without problems for a while now. I haven't seen a DX7 hack though. Maybe time to upgrade to Win2K?

Please can someone send me a DirectX that works on Windows 2000 because none of the DirectX I downloaded works.
 
Thank You!
