OK, it's been a couple years since i've had to reinstall the operating system on this computer. i used to do it about every 6 months to put fresh formatting on hard drive. now i am running xp pro x64 and i have usually been able to install directx in the past, but it seems i have forgotten something. did i need directx for server 2003, or directx 9.0c, or does it matter because its the same Direct X? i have currently been trying to install the ennduser runtime directx 9.0c, to be told i need millenium, 2003, or xp to use the program. i am finding that rather strange since i bought this program to get rid of the vista fiasco, since microsoft nor acer would give me an oem that worked.
i know i am forgetting something from when i used this computer more often.
