I just found this last night, guys. You no longer have to reformat your drive to get DirectX 8.0 off your system! This site has a utility called DirectX Buster that will unload ANY version of DirectX, even 8.0, without going through a system reformat!
http://www.directxbuster.de/index_e.html The most stable build of the product is DirectX Buster 1.33 build 103. You'll first need to download a copy of DirectX 7 (or whatever version you wish to return to). You can do this here. When you've downloaded the package, then run DirectX Buster and remove DirectX 8 from your system. Reboot, then reinstall DirectX 7. You're ready to go! Hope this helps solve a LOT of frustration. Here's one in the eye for Microsuck! Cheers, Sazerac |

Thanks for the link, I'll keep it handy! Although since W&W is the only game I have that crashes disastrously, I'll hang on to DX8 for now.

Great Saz,
even though I don't have DX8 (and might wait for a while to get it ), I downloaded the program, to be sure to got it at hand if I ever do need it!P.S. I won't just now tell the forum visitors how to 'create' situations for nice screen shots: my experience is if you let people try by theirselves for a while, they might even come up with new and different ways. All for the further enrichment of the GSE of course
