Alright i guess i will ask here, need a driver

I ask this on the windows 7 forum, but i say i will ask directly on a vista forum for people who are actually using Vista.

I need for someone to send me this driver:

Direct3D 9Ex (known internally during Windows Vista development as 9.0L or 9.L): allows full access to the new capabilities of WDDM (if WDDM drivers are installed) while maintaining compatibility for existing Direct3D applications. The Windows Aero user interface relies on D3D 9Ex.

Direct3D 9Ex Improvements (Windows)

A few days ago, i somehow got it by uninstalling a driver and windows install a 185.93 WDDM 1.1 MS driver and in dxdiag it read:



I have no idea how i got it before, but i would like to have that driver back please, can someone help

Hi U2K

This link is for the DirectX End-User runtimes - Directx Feb 2010
The Direct3D 9Ex is a component of the package.
Extract and run the installer.

Hope this helps and regards

Hope it works, feed back laterz.

wait a min, by installing directx, how are you going to install the driver? all dx does is install whatever, but it doesn't install a display video driver

Hi go to nvidia's web site and choose the driver version you want for the 9800gt and install it

I don't think you understand what i am searching for. By install a nvidia driver , that will not make DDI in dxdiag say 9Ex. You need to read this carefully:

Direct3D 9Ex (known internally during Windows Vista development as 9.0L or 9.L): allows full access to the new capabilities of WDDM (if WDDM drivers are installed) while maintaining compatibility for existing Direct3D applications. The Windows Aero user interface relies on D3D 9Ex.

Someone else on another forum had the same thing showing in his DDI version, but he has no idea how he got it, i don't either. There has to be a driver out there that enables it. Or unless i have to use Vista to find out. I plan to install vista on my main gaming rig soon, so i guess i will just have to look into it more.

Thanks anyways, peace
