For some reason though if you try to install Nero Vision you will get an error saying that you need DX9 to install. Does anyone know why that is if it already has DX9.

Method of installing DX 9.0b that works (if your playing Halo):

1. Rip out your Halo CD or another source and install every individual .inf. There are a lot, and many come up with Logo Testing errors, ignore them.

2. Cut d3d9.dll from /system32 somewhere else. Now copy the d3d9.dll from the folder of 9.0b into /system32.

Now halo will run fine. Halo is the only app I've seen which needs 9.0b, and I created this method and it works!

I installed directx 9.0b prior to the installation of longhorn and everything works fine, but I can't get the new boot screen to work.

I just extracted the files and ran the setup from extracted folder, regular install. And then I just updated to longhorn and there is no problem with my directx.

I'm sorry. I was expecting longhorn to use the xp's installation of directx when I first wrote this post.
