Hi all

I have just got my computer back from it being fix and I put DBP back on it (have not put FPS on yet), but when I load in a program and try and run it I get this message:

"DirectX9.0 installed (589824). Requires DirectX9.0c (October 2006) or later."

The comuter has DX10 on it!

lol

So, has anyone had this prob b4? Or is it a known bug?

Thanxs.

Erm..... As far as I know you cant go backwards from dx10 to dx9. Besides, I dont understand what the problem is. DX10 is better than DX9 (at lease it is supposed to be) and the computer is a Vista based not XP so I thought DBP would work just fine.

Is there NOTHING else I can do to get DBP to work with DX10??

no
dbpro requires dx9 not dx10.
if you install dx9 you will have dx9 and dx10, dx9 won't overwrite dx10.
