    oh, there are ways around that. in this case you want to look for the monolithic directx end-user runtimes that can be found in the dx developer site.

    here, i'll save you the trouble: http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/

    Easiest way around it is install it from some game or something that uses it, since that is the only occasion you really need it anyway.

    unless you're like me and you end up installing or reinstalling windows a couple of times per month, yes :)

    Problem with most games that ship with it, usually ship with an older version that was intended for use around when it was compiled. I've got a few of these new games, and more than half of them ship with like directX 8 or pre 9.0c builds. Luckily for me, this card is already 9.0c compliant on the hardware side :D

    "But it really annoys me that I can't get updates because my Winnie isn't legal, there are bound to be some problems with that."

    Yeah, what bastards.

    Lol. Pirated copies of windows can still recieve critical security updates, (through auto update, not the site) but they cant get the unneeded software/hardware driver updates. Which isnt that surprising really. And you can still get round it if you know how. It took them long enough to have a decent go though - it had me fooled for a few hours.

    Of course I was meaning that there are bound to be some problem with the legally bought Winnies.

    Fuck if I care if I have problems, I can go round them and move like a jedi ninja assassin.

    You'd think by registering my copy of Windows I could retrieve my CD key from them. No, that's too simple.

  • gigingergiginger New
    It was a complete reinstall though. Otherwise that would've been perfect, thanks for the info though.

    you're smoking crack! put down the pipe! ie = BAD.

    the IE7 interface is so god damn freakin' unusable.
  • gigingergiginger New
    IE7 is faster but it's still not rendering pages correctly. Hell, I'm no CSS guru but a page I've created is standards compliant and works in everything BUT IE. Any version of IE. In IE7 all the text is screwed too.

    Firefox 1.5:
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

    Opera 9:
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

    IE7:
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

    Don't know why that's occuring. I don't have text-shadow or whatever it is.
  • BergamotBergamot
    Does it work in ie6?
  • gigingergiginger New
    It looks nicer but still doesn't work correctly. Doesn't have that weird shadow effect.
  • lechlech Chicagoland ✭
    CRUCIFY IT!
  • BergamotBergamot
    I think, without source, we're not going to be much help.
  • aloiciousaloicious
    Create an ActiveX control that automatically installs Firefox for all users :D
