If I update Direct X to 9.0c, should I be able to see it in the Add Remove programs list? I updated it on my laptop, and went to Add / Remove programs and I don't see it listed.Or is it now imbeded somewhere else? In a service pack or standard windows update? Is Direct necessary for FS 2004?Barry

No, because it is a basic part of the operating system and cannot be removed - well not easily anyway.Yes, it is embedded in WindowsClick on `start`, `run` type `dxdiag` and there it isYes, it is necessary for the correct function of WindowsAllcott

Thanks Allcott!Barry
