Hi,

I was wondering if I could change my directx 10 version back to directx 9 for certain programs. I've been playing Crysis and bioshock lately and they've been crashing, which I have come to understand is a compatibility issue with directx 10. I've read that running these games would, perhaps, run in directx 9 better since they were designed for that version. If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Direct X 10 is a completely new Direct X. It as far as i know has nothing to virtually nothing in terms of files from Direct X 10. By installing Direct X9 it will NOT overwrite your direct X10 but what it will do is add the direct X9 files to your direct x and increase compatibility with software that requires the components that belong to DirectX 9.
