| Guest | DirectX 10 I'm trying to enable DirectDraw hardware acceleration, but to no avail. I cannot seem to enable it. Can anyone help me out? Or can someone tell me how to make DirectX 9 my default DirectX version instead of 10? Also, I have Vista Ultimate. Cheers, --Chingy42007-- |

Well, technically it's not. DirectX 10 is not backwards compatible (unlike previous versions). However, Vista comes with DirectX 9.0L as well as DirectX 10, so old programs will run fine. A DirectX 9 program will not know about DirectX 10, and will use DirectX 9. A DirectX 10 program cannot run on DirectX 9, and will use DirectX 10. Alun Harford |
