Ignore the first test Direct Draw
 
RUN Test Direct3D
 
First test
 
It will then tell you that this test will use hardware-accelerated DirectX 7 interfaces. ( Funny dont Windows XP have DirectX 8.1 Installed )
 
Second Test
 
It will then tell you that this test will use hardware-accelerated DirectX 8 interfaces.
 
Has anybody else noticed this

Nothing strange really. The DirectX 7 interfaces are still in there 'cause otherwise any program written for DX7 would no longer work once DX8 was installed.
