I jus recently had a computer and when i installed windows me and put direct x 8 or 9 for my graphics card i the got to restart it and it shows the boot-up screen then shuts down as you would normally in windows.
I have a Amd Duron 1.3ghz,256 ram ,WD 40gb, hercules 4000 64mb, and a ecs mobo wit onboard graphix (which i dont use) and sound and lan please help it would be gratefull!!!!!

Press F8 or F5 while it is booting up, and make it go into safemode. Then shutdown properly. Then try it going into windows normal again. If no luck go into safemode again and uninstall directx.

I tested that software out, CornerPocket.

I setup a new clean install of windows 98se. (Just for testing on a spare harddisk)

I installed Direct X 8.1 and the used the software to uninstall it. it took about 3 seconds and then a reboot. No more Direct X. :)

I then tried it with 9.0a, again same results. Magic&#33; Presto&#33; :sorcerer: Poof... gone. :lol:

Thanks for the great tip. CornerPocket. :D

Why would you need to remove DirectX? I never knew it caused any conflicts. :huh:

When I reinstalled my OS and installed directX 9 it crashed my PC too. I formated again and went back to 8.1b works fine now.
