Subject: Re: CM8000 hangs sometimes when playing my Winboard engine.

Go up one level in this thread


I have 2 verisons of Win2k.  I installed CM8000 on my other Win2k partition that
has DirectX7, and have yet to see it hang.  The install said that 7.0a could not
be installed.  Win2k comes with DirectX verison 7 so I assume the 7.0a is maybe
bug fixes.

I did have DirectX8 already installed on the Win2k system where CM8000 is
randomly going into a loop.  I am wondering if DirectX8 is the problem...
