    Hey Guys -

    i just got my M17x... :D But i was wondering where (for later use) does it say what the current directX version is installed?

    And where do i get the info about the current 260M installed? And asbout stealth mode?

    thanks still trying to get the hang of vista, since my last computer i only owned was 5 years ago, and was running windows XP

    thanks again... this is the best forum to get up posted on the latest news!!! Thanks Chaz

    now matter what go to microsoft.com and go to their directx page and download and install their latest directx. Vista only comes with dx10 runtime you will have to do the install anyways for most games since majority are still dx9 so you need its runtime files also.

    the directx download from microsoft is for both 10 and 9.
