Hi abuaufa

MS refreshes their DirectX technology every so often (it actually used to be much more frequent). It never hurts to keep it up to date, especially if you're a gamer as some newer games will often require the patches included in the latest DX releases.

thank for quick REPLY,Exile.

updating now....

pls ignore or delete my same topic. I got problem with Opera and change it with Chrome.

No problem, I'm sure one of the admins or mods will get it. We've had an issue with the forum lately where it stays on the reply page as though a post had not been made yet where it in fact had, causing these duplicate posts to show up a lot when users click the button more than once thinking it didn't go through the first time.

Direct X 11 has recently been released that is the June one (for general interest) See Here for Downloads - For Vista and Win7 only -

I was still using 9 till I found this and as I have XP I will still only use DX 9 -

EDIT: Well; somehow I have the WebDownLoader installed and it downloaded 150 megs of direct x files going from 2005 to current day.. I don't think I ever GOT to Kansas..

IF you are ever interested in your version of Direct X:

Hi Shy -

Just found it myself as I read exiles post - I thought I would check mine (not set to load Auto for Direct X) -

Then I found it had an update in June so I loaded that -

EDIT - I just meant I upgraded my existing DX - The load for DX11 is only for later Windows users -

The DirectX runtimes update your existing version of DirectX for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. You can't install 10 or 11 on XP (it just won't install them as they aren't compatible). If you have 7 or Vista it will update your DX9 files, your DX10 files and your DX11 files .

@exile360: Thanks for the info Sam - I didn't have a clue... (sigh; I rarely do.. )

@noknojon: Jon; you and me both. Learn something new every day, I guess. *grin*

EDIT: If Redmon's servers ever get nuked I have the complete DirectX library on my HD for a backup.. SDK too.. Oy vey!

There was one claim on one site that DX 11 can be run on XP but it has an infection in it so do not try it -

I have listed this in the propper area of the forum -

I wrongly stated that DX 11 is available and should have only said FOR LATER Versions of Windows -

[exile360]

Yeah, it's not compatible. I'm sure if MS wanted to go through the trouble, they could back-port it to make it compatible, but all the claims I've seen thus far of being able to hack it to work on XP by users have been false.

Speaking of back-porting; anyone know of the forward-porting of the XP PowerToys to Vista? All I care about is the SENDTO: toy that included ANY FOLDER (and has the browse function to look for a folder to send it to) as a selection.

I did some quick googling and this might suit your needs .

I checked it out and it seems legit (it even comes recommended by an MS MVP ). I also found some pretty positive feedback and more advanced info (silent install options etc, I'm assuming for slipstreaming etc) on one of my favorite, most trusted sites MSFN.

I downloaded it and installed it but it doesn't show in the CONTROL PANEL and I can't seem to make it work; there's no uninstall.. It may be because I'm using a non-MS file manager or the settings I used in Online Armor when I installed it. I'll have to see what's going on after a sleep cycle. I do see the positive comments from MFSN so I haven't given up.

Thank you for finding that for me. :)

EDIT: It's xplorer

[exile360]

No worries, it uses InnoSetup (the same as MBAM actually ) so it should have placed an uninstall.exe file in its Program Files folder .

Out of curiosity, what file manager are you using?
