i have just purchased pyro cdr/rw/dvdrw burning software but it wont install on my system. im using:
WINXP SP1
DirectX 9.0c

now when i install pyro it wont continue setting up unless it install directX 8.1 first. it does not even detect that i have a higher version installed. tried reinstalling it a couple of times but still same thing. well i have no way of uninstall derectX 9.0c on my pc and even if i have a way of removing it, why wont it detect that i have a higher version..
 
I don't know, but maybe the software you are trying to install is older than the direct X, so that it cannot detect a older version, it can only detect versions made before it

if you know what i mean!
 
this version that i have is the 2003 version so i would say it's pretty new right.. anyway im going back to the pc shop where i bought this thing and i'll go get a refund and maybe treat myself to a new mobo.. hehehe but still bithers me could there be something wrong with my pc??
 
As Techy said ... it should offer you the option of installing DX, don't worry XP will not let it over-write any inportant files ... if it does not offer the option to install then it should be on that CD somewhere.

Then, if need be, you can re-install DX9c

yeah i agree with you on this one...
BTW i also purchased the 2004 version of Pyro and tried it... it sucks... takes forever to write cd's (even just documents.... ) well i found this cool software on the net. ots called GearPro and its way cooler that pyro.
