DirectX 6.1 problem?
LockedMy friend has a game that when he installes it the setup says the game requires DirectX 6.1 or higher. He has DirectX 8.0 on his computer. In the setup of the game it states that it did not find DirectX 6.1 installed Click OK to installl it. I clickOK and it says that DirectX was already installed or updated. I click OK and the setup continues to the testing part. Everything passed except for the DirectX 6.1 which is required to play the game. I tried to uninstall DirectX 8.0 and allow the game to install DirectX 6.1. I could not find where to uninstall 8.0 so I went to find and deleted the log file and some other file. Which was very stupid of me because I did not think to back up the files. The setup still said that it was already installed. So, I searched on the internet to find DirectX and I found version 7.0. I downloaded it and tried to install. The download went fine but when I tried to intsall it the setup said that it was not nesecary because a later version was already installed. What is going on? How can I uninstall DirectX 8.0? And why is 8.0 not working with this game? The name of it is Might And Magic 7. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks.
