Directx 7+ and WindowsNT
« on: March 12, 2004, 11:58:03 AM »
IS this in anyway possible... I know the official line is no... but maybe one of you foul smelling, grogg drinking windoze users might know of a WineX port to WinNT?

DirectX is not compatible with Windows NT4.
Upgrade to Windows NT 5 (Win 2000) or Windows NT 5.1 (Win XP) instead.


of course I would have XP on this machine if I could, but My Employer only has a licence for NT4 and is not prepared to upgrade... if it aint broke...

So I was wondering if any solution can be found? WineX seems like a good candidate :-)
