Windows NT has DirectX built into it, right? Which version of DirectX is in there? And do Windows 2000/ME have DirectX built in as well? -Ironblayde Aeon Software The following sentence is true.

I believe WinNT has dx 3.0. While Windows ME/2000 have dx 7.0? Not too sure, but the dx 3.0 on WinNT is why you never see many games on NT.

WinNT has Dx3 I think, at least when you install up to service pack 3 it does. Win2k has DX7 as does ME.

Win2K comes with DirectX7. That''s what I do my home development on. SP3 brought DirectX3 to NT4 I believe. There is a hack floating around that allows DirectX5 on NT4.

*looks at Evil Steve*

[size=4]No, you're wrong, DirectX 5.0 isn't the best API to use. You should use Glide.[/size]

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.
