How can I find out which version of Direct X I am using?
If I tried to install an earlier version (usually comes with a game) would
the sytem notify me that I was trying to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mick

From Start>Run type

dxdiag

The system should tell if you try to install an earlier version than the one already installed.

You can find which version of DirectX you have going to Start > Run
and typing dxdiag
