   Help!! Need it today!! (direct x)
  Ok, my little brother has an old computer thats essentially his, its 300 mhz, i believe 96mb ram, and a 16mb voodo 2 pci card...Now when i passed the pc on to him i reformatted, leaving it with no directx what so ever, then i installed counter-strike for him which i believe comes with dx5, now theres a recent game called Crimsonland, which i wanted to give him for his birthday today, and it requires directx8, so i got the installer for win 98 (the correct OS) and then ran the installer on his comp, it gave me an error "direct x failed to copy a vital file", (this was the 8.1 runtime)btw... that comp isnt on my network so i hadta burn it to a cd before i could transfer it to his computeranything would be great, thanx-Dan 
  Um... put it on a new CD.  Chances are you got a little fingerprint on it and the checksum is off slightly.   EDIT: Chances are "crimsonland" will come with DX8, though.

(it used to be strictly freeware) ) ;You can always hook that comp on, DX is a quick download even with dial-up..bas   [sPiKie] mmorpg isnt hard in vb
