Re: Where is my directx 10 ?

If you are running Vista, then you already have DX10.
If you are running XP, then you have DX9C.
If you intend on continuing to run XP, then you will not be able to get DX10.
DX10 graphics cards all run just fine in DX9 mode.

Sahitanand,

You might also try runing the game in XP SP2 Compatibility mode to see if it will run better. If not, you can easily turn it off.
