Anyone having trouble with The Witcher demo?

[Jumpem]

I get a dx9 dll not found error when launching the demo. I am running Vista with dx10.

Is the demo only dx9/Windows XP compatible? And is anyone running the retail game on Vista without issue?

I can tell you i played the retail version in Vista 64 without issues.

I just finished the game on Vista x64 (retail version).

You could try updating your DX9.0c in Vista(its for all versions including Vista,installed it myself for DX 9 updates).

<- Confused. Vista uses both version 9 and 10 of DX?
