Ive noticed on Nvidia, that Direct x have released DX9, well ive been thinking, shall i update? I play games like Americas Army, Battlefield 1942, Raven Sheild and well most of the new games, but will DX9 support these games?. I am currently using Direct x 8.1, is there much of a noticable difference in dx9?.

Well your card doesn't really support DX9 so you wouldn't be able to use any of the DX9 features anyway.

If you do install DX9,there is an uninstaller for XP (also believe it works for win2k) so you should be able to go back to your original DX version if you want.

Also you might want to avoid the web installer and just download the redist version.

I posted a question about an hour or so ago about troubles with directx 9 and my geforce 2 MX400

this was posted on MS's website:

Q.
How do I uninstall DirectX?

A.
DirectX 9.0 is a system component and cannot be uninstalled. If there is a problem with the DirectX installation, it can normally be resolved by shutting down all running applications and reinstalling. As mentioned previously, DirectX 9.0 is fully backward-compatible with titles written for previous versions of DirectX. If you are having other problems after installing DirectX 9.0, these can often be resolved by installing updated drivers for your display card, audio card, or input device.
As with most software, users of Windows ME and Windows XP have the option of creating a “System Restore point" before installing. System Restore points allow you to roll back your operating system to a time before the software was installed. If you feel there are special circumstances which may necessitate removal of DirectX. It is recommended that you create a System Restore point. Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows 2000 do not support the "System Restore" feature.

I run windows 2000, and if you see any thing that claims to be able to uninstall directx 9, please post it

I have only seen the Directx9 uninstaller around in questionable places that can not be posted here. Also it is for XP, however as I said above I hear it also works for win2k.
