DirectX Media Runtime for NT4

pirinto
I found this on the M$ DirectX Website. Is this update crucial for an NT4 system or do these updates already exist if you've installed the Microsoft Media Player 6. 4?.

How to remove the CD-ROM from search path?

Mike V
I know I should have put this in the Other forum, but I don't think anyone would look there. Whenever I do a search off of the Start menu or any similar action (like Winzip extract), Windows 2000 pauses to spinup the CD and bring it into the path.

Direct X - Version 7??

LoveRat
Didn't DX7 ship with Win2k?? When I run the DXInfo tool. . . its telling me all versions are 5. OK I am officially confused. Can installing older games that ship with previous versions of DX have overwritten the 7??.

pirinto
Hi I have NT4 installed on my system (AMD K6-3 400Mhz, 128Mb RAM, SOYO 5EHM mobo (VIA MVP3 chipset) Quantum Fireball EL 7. 6Gb has UDMA support)and I wonder if NT4 would benefit from the VIA 4in1 drivers (to enable UDMA33) for the VIA MVP3 chipset.
