No probs now with wine, except....... Now when I try to install things like Half-Life or You Don't Know Jack, 5th Dementia, it keeps saying it needs DirectX 7.0 or higher. I have DirectX 8.0a installed--should I uninstall it and go back to DirectX 7.0? Of note, I have had problems with DirectX 8.0 not being recognized, which is why I upgraded to 8.0a. Or is wine simply not compatable with DirectX??? _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
