DirectX 9.0a and Earth and Beyond

NemesisX
Hey, any of you that play Earth and Beyond or. . it could be somehow related to some other high graphics game. Before I installed Direct X 9. 0, when I try to minimize the game, it would at times take a while to get back to desktop.

IE 6.0 w/SP1 won't boot on WinXP

cmmahone
IE was working fine, then one day it wouldn't boot. When you left-click on the icon for IE, the hourglass pops-up for a couple of seconds then dies. No link inside of an e-mail will take me the Internet either.

Graphics API

NemesisX
Hey guys, it's me again. I'm also looking for a good Graphics API mainly for graphs and stuff. Basically 2d should be fine, with speed and prints out to the screen rather than to a jpg, gif, etc. Disregarding OpenGL, DirectX, GPI, and wxWindows.
