directx beta expired, I didn't know it did that

[dave m]

My directx 8.1 beta (620) just expired, any recommendations as to what I should update/downgrade to? I just got my videologic Kyro II to finally play nice with my hauppauge WinTV and now this

Get the newest DX (e.g. here: http://www.abitboy.com/files.htm#DirectX%208.1_682)

I hope the link is still up.

Now, that sucks. I have build 620 installed on both Win98 and 2k.

Does 682 do the same thing ?

[Indiana]

No.

[dave m]

Yeah, I was a bit upset when I started getting "Beta Direct Draw has expired, please update" messages everywhere, and dxdiag just wanted you to update at Microsoft with 8.0a.

Thanks Indiana, the link is still up, downloaded in 2 minutes, you have to love a free cable modem connection they forgot to cap to 64k

Actually I have to forward the thanks to ayoub ibrahim, as I've got the link from an earlier post by him.

[ayoub_ibrahim]

thanks for that Indiana!

Credit to whom deserves credit

[Admiral]

Well, thanks to both

dave m, I hate you, took me one hour and a half to get both versions And that was a good day, just when I finished downloading I got disconnected and couldn't connect again.
Got to love overcrouded dialup providers.

Still waiting for the final 8.1 and those new DX 8.xx optimized Kyro II drivers
