Thanks. Sorry. where do you go to uninstall DirectX in the first place... couldnt find it under add/remove programs in the control pannel.

??? its still hasnt worked. i get a list of the minumum requirements and what i have... but by directX it says minimum requirements DirectX 7, and that i have an unknown version or DirectX. do i have to uninstall directX before installing DirectX 9?

This is really annoying! i used to have win98 and heroes 3 complete worked perfectly, but then i recently have gotten a new computer with XP on it, and now when i install it, it cant ditect the version of DirextX that i have, so it wont play the game. The message i get is "Setup has determined that you have a current version of DirectX. You do not need to install at this time. Would you like to install anyway?", then, "Setup has detected an unknown version of DirectX is installed on this computer. the minimum requirements for this game is DirectX 7. You will not be able to play this game until dirext x is upgraded" What should i do??
