CM play on windows NT?


Recommended Posts

Wrong...

Windows NT DOES NOT support DirectX 6.0. There is no 'runtime' for NT to support this version. DirectX 3.0 is the last version that was supported by NT. Other things you see on the Internet to get NT to support DirectX 6.0 are little hacks that do nothing but fool programs into thinking that DirectX 6.0/5.x is installed. If the program actually requires calls that are beyond DirectX 3.0, they won't work (I know, I've tried them).

If you don't believe me then check out this DirectX FAQ (the question: 'Is DirectX compatible with Windows NT 4.0 ?').

An upgrade to Windows 2000 would definitely do the trick. But an official upgrade license is close to US$150.

Yep, you got me there. I didn't read the NT information too well, it's DirectX Media Runtime that's version 6.0. More of that here: link, hit me!

Sorry for giving out wrong info!
