Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 How do I check to see which version of DirectX I have? I've finally found out WHY there were problems with my computer sounds...when I installed Desktop Themes, it appears either I or my computer(OR both) messed up on the orders an dit uninstalled some sound files. And I finally figured out how to uninstall Desktop Themes, although it took a few tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Start - Run - "DXDIAG" there you can find what directx you are using; it's right at the first page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Radiant Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 on the dxdiag panel is a list of all DirectX files with their version numbers. It is not uncommon that these vary wildly (i.e. directdraw 8, directound 6 and a half, etc). This usually doesn't cause much of a problem but sometimes it might. Some older games have a tendency of overwriting a newer directx version with an older one at install time, which does cause a problem. Both can be fixed (usually) by downloading the most recent version from microsoft's webpage. I've had at least two experiences myself with directmusic crashing my computer because of version trouble.
