i dont know if anyone has posted this question. The search option doesnt seem to be working right now. so ill just ask, how do i uninstall directx8 in win2k? after installing DX8 and the new beta nvidia drivers (7.17) with DX8 support none of my opengl games (quake2,quake3,halflife) work. the screens just blank out. so im goin back to 7.0a.

ok i uninstalled the 7.17's and tryed the 6.47's. but still no luck. when starting quake2 it just grey screens, when starting halflife it black screens. i guess ill try the 6.31's.

ok heres whats going on. i let quake2 sit with the grey screen and it eventually got into the game but im talking like 3-4 mins later. so i think thats a directx8 problem.. ive tried reinstalling directx8 also but same deal.

I plan to create a Ghost image of my boot drive b4 installing DX8. This way, if there are any probs, I can go back to DX7, easily & painlessly.
