It was moved to "Games", as was mine. Strange, as I thought it would have more to do with hardware (hardware/driver compatabilty with DX8) than with games.

DX is gameing API not a Hardware API
You don't need DX to run any video card under Win95 thur Win20000 OS.

Isn't DX required for Media Player? DX updates are required for some versions of video drivers, and I use those same drivers for Solidworks, eDrawings, and other 3D applications. It's an API for talking to hardware, therefore the reason for the post location.

So DirectShow and DirectSound don't fall under DirectX? I was checking the DirectX site, and it does seem geared to gaming, however it does call it a "multimedia API" and essentially a HAL. In addition, I found this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/win98/Reskit/Part6/wrkc30.asp
Which seems to list DirectX as more than a gaming API. If you guys want DX posts in gaming, that's cool. I am just telling why I don't understand it.
